This plate made and decorated by hand by the best Italian ceramists was designed in 1925 by Gio Ponti, the founder of the Richard Ginori factory in 1735. His timeless Art Deco style is a cult object for connoisseurs.

This plate combines classical elements, visible in the repetition of obelisk-shaped decorations around the rim, and a sublime Art Deco style that incorporates Surrealist traits in the perspective and in the town depicted at the bottom.
