Fornasetti's Designed Plates
One of Adrian's favorite designers is Piero Fornasetti , The Italian designer famous for his mysterious and quirky pieces. Fornasetti lived and worked in Milan all his life and was one of the most prolific Decorative artists Century 20. He was a painter, sculptor, decorator and engraver. His style is based on illusion, architectural perspectives, and a number of issues such as the sun, playing cards, fish and flowers, from which he made seemingly endless variations.
Born in Milan in 1913, Fornasetti grew up under the influence of functionalist restraint, but looking at his work, is obviously not restrict him. His fruitful imagination created a magical, dreamy, and applied his decorative vocabulary to an astonishing variety of objects – ashtrays, chairs, plates, cabinets and dining tables are turned everyone in the application of unexpected images.
Fornasetti rebelled against the concept of numbering, dating and signing his work. I was so sure that his style was unmistakable that he was indifferent to these important brands collectors use as proof of the date and identity. After his death, his son Barnaba began to distinguish the reprints of the original classic Fornasetti seal.
The plates are black and white, although we have seen a black in the golden version of the company, "Adam" set. In the back of each plate says "Fornasetti-Milano Made in Italy" [in English], and shows an image of a hand holding a brush in the center is a fig leaf, and a number of 1 to 12, at the top an arrow through a sign that says "High High Top", and under the glaze in the center is marked by the German porcelain manufacturer mark in an oval, whereby "4 Germany 4" prints. Besides the specific responses of origin and price, we would like the information and sources used to determine them. Please purchase online www.etabletop.com
