Before being acquired by Villeroy & Boch, Gallo operated as an innovative brand that set modern design trends, commissioning their production from the finest German manufacturers. The pieces featuring the iconic Brasila pattern were produced exclusively at the historic Bavarian porcelain manufactory, Tirschenreuth (a branch of Lorenz Hutschenreuther).
The forms of the dinnerware are architecturally restrained yet impactful. Clean, cylindrical contours and balanced proportions lend the pieces a sculptural quality with a tangible sense of design gravitas. On many of the items, a deep, dark chocolate brown transitions fluidly into a rich black an effect that, combined with a vibrant orange, creates a striking visual intensity. As form and function merge completely, the design intentionally eschews any superfluous ornamentation or distractions. It embodies a form of craftsmanship suited for everyday use, defined by a bold, confident design language. Signs of age related wear such as visible cutlery marks and scratches in the glaze are present, particularly on the plates.
