A beautiful matching set of five vintage Richard Ginori Grand Tour porcelain plates, each depicting a celebrated Italian landmark from Rome, Florence, and Venice. Made in Italy by Richard Ginori, the plates feature finely rendered architectural views accented with subtle color, an elegant raised molded border, scalloped edge, and delicate gold gilt trim. Each plate carries the Richard Ginori maker’s mark on the reverse. The five different views are: Roma – Il Colosseo Roma – S. Pietro Firenze – Palazzo Vecchio Venezia – Ponte dei Sospiri Venezia – Madonna della Salute These plates belong to the tradition of Grand Tour souvenirs, decorative objects celebrating Italy’s great monuments and cities and intended as mementos of travel and culture. Unlike inexpensive modern souvenir ware, these examples were produced by one of Italy’s most important porcelain manufacturers and have an especially refined presentation. The matching series displays beautifully as a group on a wall, in a cabinet, or arranged on shelves.
