A refined and rare porcelain catchall dish by Fornasetti, Italy, celebrating the iconic opera Norma by Vincenzo Bellini. The design replicates a historical La Scala theatre poster, with exquisite black typography bordered by intricate scrolling and framed in hand-applied gold trim. The gently crumpled trompe-l’oeil form adds a signature surrealist Fornasetti twist.
The back of the dish features English text summarizing the opera’s debut and subsequent performances at Teatro alla Scala, Milan. A striking piece for collectors of opera ephemera, mid-century Italian design, or Fornasetti’s theatrical oeuvre.
Marked Fornasetti Milano, Made in Italy on reverse.
