Fornasetti Egocentrismo Porcelain Geometric Op Art Plates, Six Plates
Located in Downingtown, PA
Fornasetti Egocentrismo Porcelain Geometric Op Art Plates, Six Plates 1990s The Piero Fornasetti six circular plates in black and white have geometric op-art patterns named " Egocentrismo". They are numbered 1,2,2,3,4 and 5. Dimensions: 10 1/4 inches Diameter x 1 inch high (26cm diameter). Mark: Marks and inscriptions: A hand holding a brush dipped in paint and 'EGOCENTRISMO'/ 'FORNASETTI - MILANO, MADE IN ITALY' over a green back stamp- Eschenbach below a crown and below Bavaria Germany and three stars- all in underglaze green. Condition. Two with some rubbing. One of the most interesting elements of Fornasetti's practice is his aesthetic dedication to figuration and fantasy. What makes the set of "Egocentrismo" so special is that the pattern is entirely abstract! A true anomaly from Fornasetti's massive body of work, this motif reminds us how experimental and creative he was. Clearly influenced by both historical decorative motifs, Op art and Italian design. (For example Egocentrismo #4 is a variation of a pattern often used by Gio Ponti) Reference: Fornasetti: The Complete Universe, page 617, # 172-173. Originally a set of six plates named Egcentrismo (Egocentralism). Example in V & A, London (Museum # C.66-1985) "Hard paste porcelain plate, without edge rim but with foot rim. Black printed decoration in 'op-art' style; view down a chequer board cylinder with a black circle at the centre. Place of Origin: Milan, Italy (designed) Date: 1950-1960 (designed) Artist/maker: Fornasetti, Piero, born 1913 - died 1988...

Antique and Vintage Serveware, Ceramics, Silver and Glass

Your dining room table is a place where stories are shared and personalities shine — why not treat yourself and your guests to the finest antique and vintage glass, silver, ceramics and serveware for your meals?

Just like the people who sit around your table, your serveware has its own stories and will help you create new memories with your friends and loved ones. From ceramic pottery to glass vases, set your table with serving pieces that add even more personality, color and texture to your dining experience.

Invite serveware from around the world to join your table settings. For special occasions, dress up your plates with a striking Imari charger from 19th-century Japan or incorporate Richard Ginori’s Italian porcelain plates into your dining experience. Celebrate the English ritual of afternoon tea with a Japanese tea set and an antique Victorian kettle. No matter how big or small your dining area is, there is room for the stories of many cultures and varied histories, and there are plenty of ways to add pizzazz to your meals.

Add different textures and colors to your table with dinner plates and pitchers of ceramic and silver or a porcelain lidded tureen, a serving dish with side handles that is often used for soups. Although porcelain and ceramic are both made in a kiln, porcelain is made with more refined clay and is more durable than ceramic because it is denser. The latter is ideal for statement pieces — your tall mid-century modern ceramic vase is a guaranteed conversation starter. And while your earthenware or stoneware is maybe better suited to everyday lunches as opposed to the fine bone china you’ve reserved for a holiday meal, handcrafted studio pottery coffee mugs can still be a rich expression of your personal style.

“My motto is ‘Have fun with it,’” says author and celebrated hostess Stephanie Booth Shafran. “It’s yin and yang, high and low, Crate Barrel with Christofle silver. I like to mix it up — sometimes in the dining room, sometimes on the kitchen banquette, sometimes in the loggia. It transports your guests and makes them feel more comfortable and relaxed.”

Introduce elegance at supper with silver, such as a platter from celebrated Massachusetts silversmith manufacturer Reed and Barton or a regal copper-finish flatware set designed by International Silver Company, another New England company that was incorporated in Meriden, Connecticut, in 1898. By then, Meriden had already earned the nickname “Silver City” for its position as a major hub of silver manufacturing.

At the bar, try a vintage wine cooler to keep bottles cool before serving or an Art Deco decanter and whiskey set for after-dinner drinks — there are many possibilities and no wrong answers for tableware, barware and serveware. Explore an expansive collection of antique and vintage glass, ceramics, silver and serveware today on 1stDibs.
