Franco Bucci Soup Tureen Plates and Bowls ACR (Arte Ceramica Romana) 1973
Franco Bucci soup service for six with tureen, side plates and bowls.
Priced low for condition - some imperfections, very insignificant.
We love this service for its bold, elegant, robust Italian design, typical of the 1970s. Chunky, innovative, attractive, lovely to use and to hold - it has it all. It’s also a great compact size, pours cleanly and stacks beautifully for storage.
Bucci usually designed ceramics for high quality manufacturers. During the 1970s, he produced this 'budget' household crockery service for mass production. It proved very popular.
This set can be viewed in the Bucci archive, listed as item 805. It was produced serially by Arte Ceramica Romana from 1973. Initial production couldn’t meet demand. Several editions were issued, with some small changes to shape and finish along the way.

CONDITION
This set is in good condition. Some minor production marks and small flakes/chips, as shown. The marks are natural to the production of slip cast ceramics. The chips are very insignificant.
