Once upon a time in 1951, Piero Fornasetti decorated the Zodiac suite of the liner Andrea Doria. In this first-class cabin, every component of the furnishing - right down to the plates, ceiling lamps, paperweights and trays - featured astronomical themes, of which now inform the 12 Zodiaco wall plates from the new season. Once just a drawing, the Pisces design was rediscovered by Barnaba Fornasetti and is placed front centre on this porcelain treasure.

FORNASETTI DECORATIVE OBJECTS MULTICOLOR UNI
The stylized face of opera singer Lina Cavalieri is infinitely reimagined across collectible objects in Fornasetti’s 'Tema e Variazioni' series. The Zodiac collection features a family of wall plates dedicated to the signs of the Zodiac. Each plate illustrates the astrological sign in true Fornasetti style, with the name of each sign appearing on the piece. The 'Tema e Varazione N.359, Pisces' plate sees the eyes of two side-on fishes merge with Cavalieri’s own eyes, as she looks out, head on. A fish tail escapes into her mouth. This hand-decorated, black and white monochrome wall plate is designed to be suspended, via two holes on the reverse, or used ornamentally in striking table set ups. Owing to artisanal craftsmanship, plates may reveal minor distinctions, making each piece unique.
