Italian Art Deco Ceramic Jug, Pitcher and Tray Set with Floral Patterns from Lenci, 1930s, Set of 3

This Italian design serveware ceramic set of three pottery items is composed of a jug, a pitcher, and a small tray. The set, dating back to the 1930s, was created by the Lenci manufacturer, established in Turin in 1919. The matte ivory beige background is enriched with floral patterns throughout, both on the body and on the handles of these gorgeous vessels. The floral decoration is rendered in a soft palette of colors, featuring shades of yellow, orange, and pink outlined with a black contour along the edges. The carafe has a long neck and a stunning amphora shape, the pot-bellied decanter features a nicely molded nozzle, while the round-shaped tray has a pleasant curly handle. These objects of everyday use have simple, clear lines and modernist forms, making them perfect for use as a table set for wine or water. The little tray can also serve as a sweet tray, sugar bowl, or candleholder. These ceramics are ready to embellish your dining table, be displayed in a vitrine cabinet, or serve as a centerpiece on a sideboard. The items are stamped with the "Lenci Made in Italy" mark and feature the original manufacturer’s label. Both jars and the tray are in perfect vintage condition with no chips or cracks. Measures: Bottles height 22 cm, diameter 18 cm. Tray height 12 cm, diameter 11 cm. Lenci Manufacturing began making dolls and toys, and expanded in 1927 into a line of figurines and enameled ceramic objects. By 1928, their rich catalog became fashionable among Italy's middle and upper classes. Lenci collaborated with important Italian artists such as Sandro Vacchetti, Gigi Chessa, and Helen König Scavini. Production ceased in 1964.
