Description
Italian Oval Porcelain Dish Decorated in the Tulipano Pattern Doccia offered byThe Metropolitan Museum of Art for A revival of an Italian Doccia Pattern 1760-1770
This Italian Doccia factory lobed silver-shape Rococo porcelain oval dish is boldly painted with a version of the Tulip pattern with large central "famille rose" flowers in iron red, green, blue, yellow, and black, the whole with gilt highlights. The Doccia porcelain had a somewhat gray body and the factory used a white tin oxide glaze to cover it as a base for the beautiful flower painting.
The Ginori (Doccia) Porcelain manufactory, at Doccia, near Florence, was founded in 1735 by marchese Carlo Ginori. The factory used tin glaze to soften the gray color of its hard-paste porcelain wares. The tin glaze created a milk white surface which served as an effective background for a palette of strong painted colors. The company is known today as Richard-Ginori.
