Piero Fornasetti Capricorn Zodiaci Porcelain Plate.
Made for Crinos.
#9 in Series.
Titled "Gli Zodiaci Farmacopei", The Zodiac Pharmacopoeia.
1960s.
The special commission plate made by Piero Fornasetti for Crinos represents the Zodiac sign, Capricorn. It depicts various attributes of the sign and the dates. The design depicts an open ancient reference book- a Zodiac Pharmacopoeia, with attributes of the sign painted in gold. Surrounding the book are various apothecary jars, bottles and boxes.
A pharmacopoeia is a book, especially an official publication, containing a list of medicinal drugs with their effects and directions for their use. Here the use is an amusing reference to the characteristics of the Zodiac sign instead of drugs.
