TRE SCALINI Ristorante RICHARD GINORI Espresso Cup Saucer Vintage Restaurantware

Description

What an unusual find! This beautifully designed collectible was created by one of the world’s premier china houses, Richard Ginori, for the legendary “ Tre Scalini” restaurant in Rome.
A dynamic, contemporary-feeling black and white Arabesque pattern signals both Rome’s eternal freshness and relevance and its historic ( in this case, Moorish and Spanish) roots.
Tre Scalini has been situated in Piazza Navona since January 4, 1815, founded with a license from the Holy See. It famously hosted the celebrities of the “Dolce Vita” during the 1950s, and is best known for its still-secret “Tartufo” recipe, incorporating 13 varieties of Austrian chocolate - and no doubt accompanied by an espresso in one of these dashing cups.
Ginori china has been made in Florence since 1735. There is a museum dedicated to the china in its home city.
The cup and saucer are in excellent vintage shape. I see no cracks, chips, crazing or staining. Design is bright and intact. Happy bidding!
