Square Peccato Snake Plate

Taking its name from the Italian for "Original Sin", the Peccato Originale collection draws upon one of the most enduring motifs in art and mythology.  Across this square trinket tray, or vide-poche, a serpent winds across the porcelain surface in looping curves, its gilded body punctuated by black markings and hand-coloured details. 

Entirely hand-decorated, the design showcases Fornasetti's distinctive approach to ornament, where familiar symbols are transformed into bold graphic compositions.  Whether used to hold keys, jewellery and everyday essentials or displayed as a decorative object, the tray brings a touch of the atelier's imaginative visual language to any interior.

Finished with gold accents and crafted in fine porcelain, each piece displays the slight variations that are characteristic of handcrafted production, making every example unique.
