An exquisite and rare set of four vintage Tema e Variazioni black and white porcelain wall plates designed by Piero Fornasetti during the 1960s to 1970s. Each plate measures 26 cm in diameter and features Fornasetti's iconic muse, the 19th-century opera singer Lina Cavalieri, reinterpreted in surreal, graphic black-and-white motifs including the serpent, the veiled face, the Dalí-inspired mustache, and the rearview mirror. Made in Italy at the Milan atelier on period porcelain blanks, these authentic mid-century pieces showcase original backstamps on the reverse.
