La Lettura Red Oval Bowl – Limited Edition by Gio Ponti

Over a tiled floor, a woman is depicted in a languid pose as she reads from a book and a scroll. Symbolizing the combination of classical and Neo-Classical references of this elegant collection entitled La Conversazione Classica, the subject of this decoration is La Lettura, the embodiment of reading. This oval bowl was designed by legendary artist Gio Ponti in the period between 1923 and 1933 when he was artistic director of the brand.
