Yes, the plates bear designs by Piero Fornasetti
 |
"Italian designer Piero Fornasetti was a true master. He took everyday objects like dinner plates and lamps and imbued them with style and wit. My favorite series of his is his variation on a woman's face. His nod to surrealism and use of bold graphics has yielded some of the most iconic images ever created."The pics come from http://www.phantasmaphile.com/2007/03/piero_fornasett.html
By all means, see this: Fornasetti's House
You MUST see the site of this artist, you WILL like it!
See the home of the Master's son Barnaba Fornasetti - also a designer and graphic artist, and a true treasurer of his father's legacy.
His home and home-studio is absolutely amazing...
As he once said, these are“fashion items
that will never
go out of fashion”
