The classic, minimalist design accommodates the famous blue "carnation" pattern contrasting against the azalea pink of the porcelain and is designed to serve both rice dishes and traditional Japanese hot drinks. Hand-painted gold threading defines the lines and embellishes each element. They complement the tableware from the same line, characterizing each guest with a distinctive color from the collection. Oriente Italiano, available as a complete tableware assortment and other sophisticated furnishings, evokes atmospheres of oriental charm, expertly interwoven with Ginori 1735's iconic shapes.
