Vase with leaves and red berries

The vase, with an expanded globular shape and a small neck bordered in gold at the mouth, features a stylized decoration depicting thin sprigs of green leaves and red berries outlined in gold. The blue background, varied by the presence of white clouds, helps to create the impression of a certain three-dimensionality. 

Richard-Ginori’s porcelain production in the first decade of the twentieth century is characterized by the creation of designs linked to the new Liberty style, which at that time was predominant in Europe. Objects with anthropomorphic and phytomorphic elements in high relief are accompanied by simpler, more linear profiles, enhanced by decorations experimenting with new techniques. In this case, the soft colors used appear to be inspired by the palette of underglaze pigments introduced for the first time in porcelain by the Danish manufactories Royal Copenhagen and Bing & Grohndal.
