This Oriente Gold Dessert Plate is characterized by fine porcelain embellished with a delicate floral ornament in hand-painted pure gold that traces the lines of the classic Antico Doccia, distinctive of the Florentine Maison that exudes Italian craftsmanship. Each piece of stunning porcelain is a work of art and a piece of history – the Ginori 1735 atelier of expert artisans was founded by Marquis Carlo Ginori just outside of Florence in 1735, , merging timeless elegance with beautiful craftsmanship.The Oriente Italiano Gold Collection is the ultimate expression of statement pieces: the precious materials used and the eclectic style of the collection make it the star of any table setting – an expression of a unique and timeless lifestyle. This new collection gives full expression to the concept of expert craftsmanship, paying homage to Italian savoir-faire, and features two exquisite new colorways: Aurum, in white, and Rubrum, in red, both hand-decorated with pure gold. The table setting is completed by plates, soups, dessert dishes, and bread dishes of the same line that can also be mixed and matched with other colorways from the Oriente Italiano collection for infinite combinations, where every composition is unique and beautiful.It can be used as either a dessert plate or salad plate, as they're generally very similar in size.
