Piero Fornasetti Porcelain Recipe Cook Plates,
Calcutta Minestrone and Corfam A La Du Pont,
Made for Fleming Joffe,
Silkscreen & Transfer,
With Original Faux Hide Box
1960s-early 70s.

These two Piero Fornasetti porcelain plates are from a series made for the Fleming Joffe hide company in New York City. These were originally given as a pair to clients in a box with a faux hide covering. It is very rare to find two plates staying together like these.

Included with the two plates is the paper separator and the original Thank you card which reads,
“We are happy to send you a New Year’s present. These plates have been created for us by Piero Fornasetti in Milano, Italy. Each year you will receive more until we reach the end of the series. We Wish you and your family a very happy New Year. Fleming Joffe Ltd.”

Diameter: 10 1/4 inches x 1 inch high

The Fleming Joffe company was a small leather goods company in New York. Fornasetti was not the only famous artist this company worked with. Andy Warhol produced ads and copy for them as well as decorating their show booths and showroom. They also commissioned Ogden Nash to pair his bouncy text with Warhol’s drawings.

Reference: Fornasetti: The Complete Universe, Barnaba Fornasetti, Page 614, #162 for a selection of examples from this series of fourteen plates which were issued in twos at New Year and given to clients of the company.

Fornasetti Rosenthal Porcelain Themes And Variations Plate, Motiv 15,
“Hands”,
1980s

The striking Rosenthal Fornasetti gold-rimmed black and white printed plate with the face of Lina Cavalieri her hands held up to her face.

Diameter: 9 1/4 inches

Printed mark in white on black circle-
Rosenthal. Classic/Germany/ Fornasetti hand and brush/ Fornasetti with trademark symbol/ Dekor/ Teme E Variazioni/ Motiv 16.

During the 1980’s Rosenthal helped revive Fornasetti’s reputation by applying some of his most enduring illustrations on their products.

Reference:
(http://www.fornasetti.com/en/story/temavariazioni/)

The image that inspired Fornasetti to coin the title ‘Tema e Variazioni’, is the enigmatic face of a woman: the opera singer Lina Cavalieri.

He found that now iconic face as he leafed through a 19th century French magazine and became fascinated. Taking her as much as a muse and as a motif, he would return to Lina Cavalieri’s face again and again throughout his career. The archetypal classic female features, and enigmatic expression of Lina Cavalieri became Fornasetti’s most frequently used template and upon which he based more than 350 variations.

Lina Cavalieri’s face, explained Piero Fornasetti, was another archetype – a quintessentially beautiful and classic image, like a Greek statue, enigmatic like the ‘Gioconda’ and therefore able to take shape into the idea that was slowly building in his mind. It was this formal, graphic appeal (rather than Lina Cavalieri’s celebrity) that demanded such loyalty and inspired the spontaneous and ceaseless creativity of Fornasetti. For him, this face became the ultimate enduring motif. With great modesty all these works were reproduced on a series of everyday objects like the plate. Tema e Variazioni shows its variations playing with one idea.
