Description

Crafted from fine porcelain, the vintage Fornasetti Tema e Variazioni plate features the iconic visage of Lina Cavalieri, captured in a striking monochrome palette. The design showcases Cavalieri's face partially obscured by a trompe-l'oeil effect of vertical and horizontal bars, a hallmark of Piero Fornasetti's whimsical and surreal approach to art. The image is rendered with precision, each dot of the halftone pattern crisply defining the contours of her features, lending a sense of depth and intrigue. The plate measures 10.25 inches in diameter and maintains a smooth, glossy surface, indicative of careful preservation and minimal handling. Its excellent condition is evident in the vibrant and unblemished finish, with no visible signs of wear or damage. The reverse side bears the Fornasetti mark, affirming its authenticity and connection to the renowned Italian atelier. Accompanied by its original box, adorned with Fornasetti's signature whimsical patterns, the piece not only serves as a functional object but also as a collectible work of art. This plate seamlessly blends functionality with artistry, embodying the playful yet sophisticated aesthetic that defines Fornasetti's legacy in 20th-century design.
