Lot Essay
The present and following lot were made by the Neapolitan pottery and porcelain firm of Giustiniani. Founded by Nicola Giustiniani circa 1760, its most successful period was in the early 19th century under the direction of Nicola's grandson, Biagio. Although a variety of wares were produced, copies of Antique vases and the use of antique forms and decoration were the high point of its production. The firm closed shortly after 1885.
