Richard Ginori, Antique And Rare Porcelain Lidded Cup, Italy, C.1850

This exceptionally rare porcelain lidded broth cup by Richard Ginori was crafted in Italy in the mid-19th century. It features the stunning "Coreano" pattern in red and blue, inspired by the Imari style. The round cup is adorned with elegantly scrolled handles and hand-painted floral motifs in iron red, cobalt blue, and gold.

The lid showcases a woven basket-like relief texture, decorated with floral designs and topped with a rose-shaped finial. As Richard Ginori did not use marking stamps until the 1950s, this piece carries no marks.
