Beginning in 1929, Ponti steered the ceramic production of Richard Ginori away from the excess of his artistic "novecento" majolica and moved in a more rationalist direction in the "Gran Rosso di Doccia" series. These vases often appear in photographs documenting rationalist interiors of the 1930s such as Baldessari's design for the Spadacini apartment (1932) and in room-arrangements by Franco Albini and Ponti for the 1936 Triennale. Although the three-dimensionality of the chariot image is typical of the Doccia series, it is exceedingly rare to see a highly ornamented, particularly figural hand-painted ornamentation, on a Doccia series piece. Provenance: Property from the Collection of Seymour Stein Literature: Gio Ponti Ceramiche 1923-1930. For examples of plates with the same chariot motif, pgs 90-93 Loris Manna, Gio Ponti: Le Maioliche, Manna, New York, 2009, p. 39, fig. 27 Domus, no. 39, March 1931 Quaderni della Triennale, November, 1936, p. 117 Rassegna #4, October, 1980, p. 31. Measures: 9 1/4 x 8 7/8 x 5 1/2 inches. See less
