When venerable porcelain company Richard Ginori gave Paola Navone 1,000 kilograms of porcelain crockery (all seconds) and invited her to experiment, she was inspired by the proof strokes that porcelain designers paint on plates and cups to test glazes. Navone's new line for Ginori, Prova Primi, is based on her brushstroke experiment and is available online from Gore Dean; prices start at $95 for an Oval Platter.
