Overview

""Vinovo and It's Porcelain"" provides an authoritative look into the history and artistry of the famed porcelain manufactory of Vinovo, Italy. Established in the late 18th century, the Royal Manufactory of Vinovo became a significant center for ceramic production, blending local Piedmontese traditions with broader European artistic influences.

De-Mauri explores the technical processes, the distinct aesthetic qualities of the pieces produced, and the historical context that allowed such a specialized industry to flourish under royal patronage. This work serves as an essential resource for collectors, art historians, and enthusiasts of fine ceramics, offering detailed insights into the evolution of porcelain making in Italy.
