The essential design of the Impero shape showcases the iconic geometric pattern, here in scarlet red with exquisite platinum threading that extends to the handle of the cup. Whether as a gorgeous gift or for adding refinment to your own moments of relaxation, it completes the service alongside the sugar bowl, tea pot and milk picture from the same line and can be combined with elements from the Labirinto collection for a continuity of geometric patterns across the table. Available in a complete assortment of tableware, tea and coffee sets and home accessories, Catene was designed by the creative genius of Gio Ponti, who was the Artistic Director of the Manifattura from 1923 to 1933 and helped to bring world renown to the artistry of Ginori 1735.
