This is a cup and saucer from the "Italian Fruits" series by Richard Ginori, a luxury Italian tableware brand. ▪️Features * Brand: Richard Ginori is a historic porcelain manufacturer established in the vicinity of Florence, Italy, in 1735. * Design: This series originated around 1760, commissioned for a villa of a Tuscan nobleman. * Pattern: Based on white porcelain, the main design features plums (European plums) along with various fruits such as pears, pomegranates, and grapes, and small flowers, all delicately hand-painted in soft colors. * Rim: The elegant Rococo shape (Antico shape) is adorned with a distinctive blue rim and gold accents. * Individual Differences: The Italian Fruits series has the same placement of the main fruits, but the types and positions of the flowers are hand-painted by skilled artisans, resulting in individual differences for each piece, making each one unique. ⭐︎Condition The cup, which had a chipped rim, has been repaired with kintsugi (golden joinery) over a period of six months. This is a classical technique. The kintsugi is on the opposite side of the drinking rim. There are no problems with hand washing. This is for those who appreciate the aesthetic of kintsugi. ※ High-quality gold powder called "genuine gold" was used. * Genuine gold powder (pure gold powder): Generally 23K to 24K. It has high purity, stable color, and is less prone to discoloration. ⭐︎About Transactions I have described the condition based on my subjective assessment.
