The Ginori Gio Ponti Conversazione Classica Bowl La Lettura is a poetic tribute to the act of reading, imagined by Gio Ponti in a Deco style infused with symbolic references to classical antiquity. Part of the Arte di Gio Ponti Collection, this bowl features a semi-recumbent figure wrapped in a scroll, set against a vivid red background reminiscent of Pompeiiโs ancient frescoes.
The design captures the dynamism of a narrative scene, where perspective lines and allegorical characters create a sense of depth and motion. A true collectorโs piece, it showcases the refined craftsmanship and visionary creativity of Gio Ponti, who served as Creative Director of Ginori 1735 from 1923 to 1933.
Ideal as a standalone decorative object or a centerpiece, this artistic bowl reflects the excellence and heritage of Italian porcelain artistry.
