About the Item

An elegant and highly sophisticated modernist ceramic bowl, designed by the acclaimed master Giovanni Gariboldi for the San Cristoforo (Milan) workshop of Richard-Ginori, dating to circa 1940. Having trained and collaborated closely with Gio Ponti, Gariboldi became a leading figure in Italian decorative arts, focusing on the seamless integration of functional forms and geometric purity. This bowl is a stellar example of his architectural approach to tableware: it rejects superfluous surface ornamentation, relying entirely on its essential, beautifully balanced silhouette and the subtle curvature of its profile. The piece features a flawless monochrome matte glaze, typical of the high-quality industrial earthenware production that made the San Cristoforo plant famous among international collectors. It stands as a timeless testament to pre-war Italian rationalist elegance, bridging the gap between functional design and minimalist sculpture.
