Set of 6 Tea Cups with Sugar Bowl, Richard Ginori, Colonna Model

Description

A piece that has written the history of Italian industrial design. This "Colonna" tea set, designed by the brilliant Giovanni Gariboldi for the Richard Ginori factory, is not just any porcelain, but an award-winning icon dating back to the 1950s .

In 1954, this revolutionary design won the first Compasso d'Oro , the most prestigious award in world design, cementing Gariboldi's intuition in the ranks of timeless objects. The set includes six cups and saucers and a matching sugar bowl , crafted from fine porcelain with a refined midnight blue finish on the outside and pure white on the inside.

The true revolution of the "Colonna" model lies in its rationalist functionality: the cylindrical shape and ribbon handle allow the cups to be perfectly stacked , transforming the set into a space-saving vertical sculpture. A rare opportunity to own an authentic Midcentury Modern masterpiece, ideal for collectors seeking the perfect combination of formal aesthetics and everyday utility.
