Arcimboldo who died in Milan, the city of Piero Fornasetti's birth, was a Renaissance artist whose work was revisited in the 20th century by artists such as Dali and Max Ernst. In On Ugliness, which was published under Umberto Eco's edition, Arcimboldo also admitted belonging to manneristic tradition for which "...the preference for aspiration to strange, extravagant and shapeless over expressional fine" is peculiar.
Marks: Green central stand to reverse with mark of the Italian maker Societa Ceramica/ Italiana/ Laveno/ Made in Italy in green with Eagle above. Each plate with a combination of printed numbers below.
Also in black the traditional Fornasetti mark of a hand with brush and Fornasetti- Milano & "Printed Exclusively for Saks Firth Avenue".

Giuseppe Arcimboldo (Italian: also spelled Arcimboldi) (1526 or 1527 - July 11, 1593) was an Italian painter best known for creating imaginative portrait heads made entirely of objects such as fruits, vegetables, flowers, fish, and books.
