Richard Ginori Italian Porcelain Dinner Plate in the Urbino Pattern

This is a fine porcelain dinner plate, approximately 10 to 11 inches in diameter, featuring an exquisite and complex Neo-Renaissance design known as the 'Urbino' or 'Raffaellesco' style. Constructed from high-quality white vitreous porcelain, the plate showcases a wide rim decorated with intricate polychrome enamels. The decorative program includes vibrant pink and green scrolls (rinceaux), heraldic shields featuring mythical creatures like lions, and lozenges containing the initials 'LP'. A gilded Greek key or meander border frames the central white well, which is anchored by a highly detailed eight-pointed star or sunburst medallion in gold filigree. The craftsmanship is indicative of the renowned Richard Ginori Italian factory, likely dating from the mid-20th century. The condition appears to be excellent with no visible chips, cracks, or crazing, though minor shelf wear on the foot rim is expected. The gold gilding on the outer edge and central medallion exhibits a high level of preservation with little to no rubbing, suggesting limited use or careful storage. This pattern is celebrated for its historical revival motifs and demonstrates superior skill in transfer printing and hand-finishing.
