Porcelain Mug from Oriente Italiano collection. Richard Ginori decorated collections condenses a very long tradition, memories and presence of three hundred of history. Pigments and precious metals are apllied and drown by hand on every piece. The collection designs, featured on the signature Empire shape, are inspired by XIX century botany illustrations on botany, skillfully reproducing twelve graphic depictions of various species of birds perched on intricate festoons. The images are framed by floral motifs delicately highlighted by Richard Ginori specially formulated pure gold edging. Each figure is split up into different elements and colors, reproducing every hue, detail and colorful marking with a palette of more than fifty shades. The over glaze, applied using a special firing process, protects the pigments sheen.
