"SPIKES SERIES" SET OF 2 ORIGINAL PORCELAIN by Piero Fornasetti (Milan, 1913-19)
TWO dishes that are a rare collectors item. "Spikes Series" is an original porcelain set realized by Piero Fornasetti (Milan, 1913-1988) in the 1960s. Original silk-screened porcelain. Marked on the base. Both the dishes are in very good conditions. Gorgeous set of six small square plates made by the Italian designer Piero Fornasetti in the 1960s. Each dish depicts several spikes of wheat; each spike belongs to a particular type of wheat; the name of the spikes is shown in cursive letters near each figure. These 2 plates were designed by the great artist Piero Fornasetti (Milan, 1913-1988). Fornasetti was an Italian versatile and eclectic artistic, characterised by an unstoppable creative flair that made him one of the most prolific figures of the 20th century, and difficult to ascribe to a specific movement. Although Piero Fornasetti's works are produced as individual pieces, he was an important figure in Italian Industrial culture, to such an extent that his name is now better known on the international design scene than in any other fields. Fornasetti was, however, an artist actively involved in a variety of aesthetic disciplines, including painting, drawing and product design.
