This type of decoration with flowering vines in relief which started to be used at Doccia in the First Period (1737-1757), is an imitation of a motif that was typical at Meissen where it was used on the service made for the Elector of Cologne, Clement Augustus, between 1741 and 1742 (U. Pietsch, in TRIUMPH OF THE BLUE SWORDS 2010, p. 287, cat. 271).Documents in the Ginori Lisci archives show that from 1750 to 1757 the Ginori factory was using a technique to make porcelain flowers copied from the gardens at Doccia to decorate tableware (A.d’Agliano, in BAROQUE LUXURY PORCELAIN 2005, p. 297, cat. 125); the earliest examples were completely white like, for instance, the beautiful soup tureen in the Castello Sforzesco in Milan (A. d’Agliano, in BAROQUE LUXURY PORCELAIN 2005, p. 296-297, cat. 125 and relative bibliography). During the Second Period of the factory (1757-1791) bowls decorated with flowering vines in relief and little purple bouquets were the most common (A. d’Agliano, in LE PORCELLANE ITALIANE 1986, p. 38), while the little gold blossoms seem to have been added later. The clay that was used was masso bastardo, a hard-paste porcelain that was used at Doccia starting in 1761 in which the clay base was covered with a tin glaze to improve the whiteness of the surface. For other examples of objects with flowering vines in relief, see MORAZZONI, LÉVI 1960, plates 200, 203b.Themarkonthebackof the plate, which is that of the Vezzi factory in Venice, is a fake that was added on in a later era, not at the Ginori factory.\r\nA. d’A.\r\nBibliography: unpublished\r\n"}],"production":"","productionType":{"text":"","id":""},"contentDescription":"","contentPlaces":[],"associatedPlaces":[],"contentPerson":[],"associatedPerson":[],"contentOrganisations":[],"associatedOrganisations":[],"contentPeople":[],"associatedPeople":[],"contentEvents":[],"associatedEvents":[],"contentOthers":[{"text":"flowers","id":"x35571"}],"contentConcepts":[],"contentLiteraryRefs":[],"galleryLabels":[{"text":"Bowl with Cover and Stand\r\nMark: 'VEN A' in gold, probably a later addition\r\nITALY (DOCCIA); about 1770\r\nC.465 to B-1923\r\n(Label draft attributed to John V.
