Porcelain

Teatro Alla Scala

Teatro Alla Scala
Milan, Italy

In the two showcases on the wall, you can see the admirable collection of fine china whose history is closely bound to La Scala.
In Europe, production of porcelain began in 1710 in Saxony in imitation of the wares that were imported
from China and Japan by the various East India companies. Almost all of the pieces on display come from the Sambon collection. The main subject of
inspiration is the Commedia dell’Arte, with masks, performing troupes, or musicians depicted with details of rare instruments or dance masks.
