Le Mie Donne: Isabella Decorative Plate

Le Mie Donne: Isabella is a decorative plate designed by Gio Ponti and produced by Ginori 1735. In the variegated world of Le Mie Donne, where Ponti had given each a name, the subject of women on flowers designed to be reproduced on 'Piattelle' (plates for wall covering of 49 cm) is limited to two decorative motifs, called Isabella and Agate. The products of the collection are unique objects, very elegant and refined decorative objects. Over the years, the architect has brought significant variations to the "Le Mie Donne" series by applying the designs to plates, jug vases and large and small oval vases. With the aim of proposing a style suited to Parisian taste, on the occasion of the International Exhibition of Decorative and Modern Industrial Arts in Paris in 1925, Ponti tries to synthesize the recovery of classicism in Art Déco. The Women on the Clouds were the first to be created and presented at the Monza exhibition in 1923.
