"Hospitality" - Gio Ponti
Porcelain plate decorated with chrome in purple, grey and gold, marked with an agate point, and hand-painted in purple and gold with an allegorical representation of Hospitality as a female figure with her symbolic and identifying attributes (a flower in her right hand, a tray with bread and wine in her left); reinterpreted in an ironic way with a casual attitude and seductive pose.
Doccia, Sesto Fiorentino (FI); 1930.
