Elevate your holiday tablescape with an exceptionally rare find of mid-century South American modernism. This gorgeous 60-piece boutique ceramic dinnerware collection was produced in Brazil by Table Wear Design Ltda. and bears the distinct signature stamp of legendary Brazilian designer Silvin Nassalla (Sylvia Nassalla). Known for combining sleek MCM shapes with striking botanical graphics, Nassalla's work remains highly coveted by international pottery and dinnerware collectors.
Vintage archives reveal that Silvin Nassalla and Table Wear Design Ltda. operated as a high-end studio, manufacturing exclusive, limited porcelain runs for luxury fashion houses like Gucci in Brazil during this era. This illustrious connection to elite fashion houses elevates this set from standard vintage china to a highly collectible piece of international design history. As a genuine boutique item, this pattern was produced in low quantities compared to mass-market commercial dinnerware, making a complete service of this scale an absolute prize for serious collectors.
Perfect for the upcoming holiday season, the set features a brilliantly stylized, oversized red poinsettia pattern balanced against deep green leaves and a crisp, minimalist white background. This bold, graphic composition offers a sophisticated, artful twist on traditional Christmas motifs. Because these pieces are beautifully weighted and feature an elegant, clean profile, they easily bridge the gap between casual holiday brunches and formal holiday dinners.
The 60-piece boutique service is divided into four varying sizes (12 of each), allowing you to construct perfectly uniform, layered table settings:
• Dinner Plates: (12 pieces) featuring the sweeping graphic poinsettia design
• Salad/Luncheon Plates: (12 pieces) ideal for first courses or smaller portions
• Dessert/Bread side Plates: (12 pieces) scaled perfectly for holiday treats
• Coupe Bowls/Deep Plates: (12 pieces) ideal for winter soups, stews, or pasta
Each piece features the original maker's mark on the reverse: a charming, stylized parakeet bird enclosed in a circle alongside the text "Table Wear Design Ltda. Designed by Silvin Nassalla - Made in Brazil."
