IL VIAGGIO DI NETTUNO

Porcelain table service - Luke Edward Hall
Il viaggio di Nettuno Ginori 1735 begins with a lunch among friends gathered around a large table on a terrace overlooking a beach on the Mediterranean Sea. And there, around that table by the sea, suddenly the world is suffused with vivid colors and filled with mythical creatures.
The designs featured on Il viaggio di Nettuno porcelain plates, cups and serving platters reflect the enchanting and extravagant images created for Ginori by designer Luke Edward Hall who, with his passion for Greek and Roman mythology, reinterprets the elements and characters, bringing to life a collection with a classic taste that is never boring.
