Bowl with ‘Papaveri’ decoration

Small bowl made of porcelain decorated by chromolithography in purple, grey, and gold, and hand-painted in gold [inv. 5375]. Richard-Ginori Ceramics Company, 1923 (decoration). As noted by critics, the stylized decoration, depicting flowers and leaves in anti-naturalistic colors, displays an Orientalizing character, perhaps referring to the eighteenth-century ‘Tulipano’ pattern of the Ginori manufactory.
