Porcelain Bowl from Oriente Italiano collection. Designed by Gio Ponti in 1946, the Oriente Italiano collection brings together elements of East and West to brilliant effect. Stylized garofani, or carnations, blossom on handcrafted porcelain in a palette of dark blue and green. Synonymous with fine Italian porcelain, Richard Ginori was founded in 1735 by a Florentine aristocrat and its collections have graced the tables of luxury liners, grand hotels and the Vatican, to name a few. Each piece is handcrafted in Italy, as it has been for nearly three centuries.
