COUPLE OF LARGE CISTE, SHOWER, GINORI MANUFACTURE, 1750 CIRCA in polychrome painted porcelain, cylindrical body with arched handles and elongated hinge to allow grip; without lid. The polychromy is full and characterised by light green ribbons, typical of one of the oldest oriental ornaments made in the manufacture, the so-called "with Indian flowers": asymmetrically arranged branches departing from the centre, loaded with diversified flowers, illuminated by gilded elements; oriental flower decoration of Chinese inspiration that reached the manufacture through the mediation of German and European porcelain in general. An interesting comparison comes from a box with lid kept in the Düsseldorf Museum and from the pair in the Villa Cagnola Museum in Varese; one has on the bottom a label of collection SILVIO FERRARA ROMA; h. 16,3 cm, diam. of mouth 19,9 cm, diam. of base 16,9 cm and h. 16,3 cm, diam. of mouth 20,7 cm, diam. of base 17,3 cm. base cm 17,3 A PAIR OF LARGE GINORI BISCUIT BARRELS, DOCCIA, CIRCA 1750 Bibliography for comparison L.
