The Richard Ginori manufactory was born through the creative initiative of Marquis Carlo Andrea Ginori, who in 1735 decided to believe in the Doccia area and its potential. Ginori’s production has thus come down through the centuries and today, 280 years later, narrates a history of excellence, tradition and Made in Italy. Each Richard Ginori piece is unique: an attention to detail expressing the know-how and expertise accumulated over time within the very same walls.
Exuberant, exotic, enticing. A stylized flower, known as the garofano (carnation) in the tradition of Florentine ceramics and reinterpreted by Gio Ponti in 1926, evokes distant memories in the Oriente Italiano Collection.
Oriente Italiano Vermiglio
The graceful, delicate hues of dawn and dusk glisten on the porcelain like a symphony. This is the scenario of the Oriente Italiano Collection on the Antico Doccia shape where creativity and color converge to create a magnificent pattern. A beautiful palette creates richly balanced compositions: blue on a background of light blue, yellow, green or pink; black against ice or green; burgundy on pink; white on light blue; and rose on light pink. The collection comes in a complete array of tableware as well as tea and coffee sets.

Contessa Onice
Colour is instantly captured on the white Impero shape, imparting exceptional beauty. The decorative process consists in removing the excess colour with the same incredible precision as hand painting, making room for trim in fine gold, platinum or the purity of Richard Ginori white. A palette of black, yellow, green and blue underscores the pieces from the Contessa Collection. The collection features a complete array of tableware as well as tea and coffee sets.

Sleek and rational: a logical path of lines evokes the image of a maze and creates a graphic frame that distinguishes the Labirinto Collection.
Labirinto Scarlatto, Smeraldo
The perfect union of ancient culture and modern design of which Gio Ponti was one of the leading representatives. The collection was inspired by the pattern created by the master in 1926. The Impero shape, with its cylindrical outlines, evokes similar models from the late eighteenth century, imprinted by the lines of Neoclassical elegance, and it enhances the style and simplicity of the Labirinto Collection. The collection features a complete array of tableware as well as tea and coffee sets.

The art of painting and the trompe - l’oeil technique are rediscovered in the Cartiglio Collection, inspired by the designs and miniatures of the eighteenth century. The hand-painted works in the collection re-create images so faithfully that they look real. The landscape, depicted using Richard Ginori’s authentic painting processes, such as pounce and the use of edging, becomes the finest expression of craftsmanship.
Cartiglio Turchese, Nero, Citrino
In the Cartiglio Collection, the memory of a landscape, the poetry of crimson and true artistry create a subtle interplay between past and future, in which the decorative element — the landscape — is revived in a bold combination of black, yellow and turquoise. The shape chosen for the Cartiglio Collection is Impero, the emblem of austere, refined simplicity. Created in 1790, with its cylindrical outlines the Impero shape evokes similar eighteenth century models, distinguished by the lines of Neoclassical elegance. Painted entirely by hand, the collection offers a complete array of tableware as well as tea and coffee sets.

The decoration, inspired by hand-painted prints from the Richard Ginori archive, takes centre stage. These drawings featured in authoritative nineteenth century botany publications, skilfully reproduce twelve different scenarios of hummingbirds and other birds on festoons framed by floral motifs delicately highlighted by pure gold edging.
Each figure was split into its different elements and shades of colour to create a palette that could reproduce more than fifty shades. The Volière collection is available in a complete assortment of tableware, tea and coffee sets.
