A superb example of an elegantly proportioned Italian porcelain tea bowl and saucer produced at the Nove manufactory, circa 1780. The factory was opened at Le Nove, near Bassano, about twenty-five miles northwest of Venice by Pasquale Antonibon in 1752 and continued to 1835, and specialised in porcelain made for the wealthy Venetian market.
