€1,800.00
This extraordinary and highly collectible set of six porcelain plates is from the iconic Giornali (Newspapers) series by the legendary Italian design house, Fornasetti. Designed by Piero Fornasetti in the 1950s, each plate features a faithful reproduction of a vintage newspaper front page from a different country, capturing a moment in global history with remarkable wit and style.
Included in this rare set are:
- Il Corriere della Sera (Italy)
- The Times (United Kingdom)
- Le Figaro (France)
- Izvestia (Russia)
- New York Herald Tribune (USA)
- Al-Ahram (Egypt)
Crafted in Italy from fine porcelain and executed in monochrome black and white, the plates are in untouched, original condition—free from chips, cracks, or restoration. Their graphic sophistication and cultural significance make them not only functional objects but also museum-worthy art pieces, ideal for display in a curated collection or gallery wall.
Highly sought after and increasingly difficult to find as a complete set, this offering presents a rare opportunity for collectors of Fornasetti and mid-century Italian design.
