La Conversazione Classica is a series of hand-panted bowls from Gio Ponti Art for Ginori 1735 with various classical themes. The first bowl with a name Putto con Cane (Putto with a dog) depicts a small boy playing with his dog.

The deep blue background contrasts with the light silhouette of the child creating a marvellous effect on majolica. On the other side of the bowl we find a woman figurine staying near a huge jar.
