Object history
Shown at the Hanover Spring Trade Fair 1972 and at the Concorso Internazionale di Ceramica, Faenza 1972. The design was taken out of production when the factory switched from using on-glaze colours to start using colours which were fired more quickly and to a higher temperature and which were dish-washer safe.
The information about the design and manufacture was supplied by the donor at the time of the gift. A body of archival material was also acquired by the Archive of Art and Design at the same time as this group of ceramics.
