Six Doccia plates, circa 1750
Decorated with three loose sprays of polychrome flowers picked out in gilding coming in from the lightly lobed side of the rim, 23cm diam. (small typical chips scattered on the rims) (6)
Footnotes
A simplified version of this pattern, loosely based on an Asian famille rose decoration after Pillement, is still produced today at the Ginori factory as the 'Granduca Coreana' pattern. The distinctive peony flowers bear a high resemblance to silk fabric designs of the same period, prints and drawings of which would have circulated Europe at the time.
Another plate of this rare pattern with slightly different border was sold these rooms, 17 June 2015, lot 21.
