bequest: Mrs T.R.E. Hole
This bowl has a shape that is typical of Ginori and was already in use in the 18th century (see cat. 78), but the combination of different decorative motifs is unusual for Doccia. In fact, although the floral motif with roses was widely used at the factory starting in the mid-18th century, the presence of repeating geometrical motifs along the ribs and areas painted in yellow are anomalous. The handles are also attached in a peculiar way which partially covers some of the floral decorations. The characteristics of the decoration suggest a date of manufacture in the first half of the 19th century. The mark painted in red under the cup is not the usual Doccia star and is a further confirmation that this piece is a typical. Another hypothesis might have been the intention, independent of the factory of Doccia, to assign the piece to another manufacturer, probably Le Nove di Bassano.
