Richard Ginori - Coffee service (6) - Porcelain - Ancona

Elegant porcelain coffee service for 6, “Ancona” pattern, made by Richard Ginori. Richard Ginori’s “Ancona” pattern is one of the manufactory’s most recognizable designs from the twentieth century, admired for its understated elegance and the distinctive interplay of relief details on the porcelain. Made from fine white porcelain, this design features decoration that is not painted but shaped directly into the material. Its defining feature is a spiral or fan-shaped relief that begins at the rim and extends toward the center of the plate in a smooth, regular pattern. This motif creates a sense of movement: light glides across the surface, highlighting the curves and bringing movement to an object that is, in fact, entirely monochrome. The shape is clean and balanced, with slightly scalloped or wavy edges that echo the rhythm of the design. This is not a traditionally decorated pattern, but rather an example of design in which the structure of the porcelain itself becomes the decoration, reflecting a modern sensibility while remaining rooted in classicism. The service offered at auction is complete for 6 people and consists of 6 cups and saucers. The set is in excellent condition. Green “R. Ginori” Richard Ginori mark on the underside of the saucers; the cups are unmarked.
