Description

A set of three ceramic plates styled "After Fornasetti," these pieces reflect the iconic imagery associated with the designer's famed Tema e Variazioni series. Each plate, measuring 3.75 inches in diameter, showcases the enigmatic face motif, rendered in striking black and white. The plates exhibit a distinct, yet cohesive visual narrative: one captures a serene, closed-eye expression; another features the face veiled with a geometric pattern, imparting an air of mystery; while the third presents a partially obscured visage, enveloped in swirling clouds. Crafted from ceramic, the plates maintain a glossy finish that accentuates the crispness of the imagery. The surfaces are impeccably preserved, with no chips, cracks, or repairs visible, indicating the careful handling of these decorative objects. The clear and well-preserved illustrations suggest a deliberate homage to Fornasetti's style, capturing the whimsy and surrealism that defines his work. These plates, with their compact size and compelling design, serve both as a nod to mid-century modern aesthetics and as standalone art objects. Their condition and distinctive design make them exemplary pieces for collectors and admirers of Fornasetti's visionary approach to art and design.
