Richard Ginori Galli Rossi Roosters Porcelain Dinner Service, 86 pieces, 1960s
Located in Firenze, IT
Exceptional 86-piece Richard Ginori “Galli Rossi” porcelain dinner service, handcrafted in Florence, 1960s, in immaculate and complete condition. This is a rare 86-piece porcelain complete dinner service by Richard Ginori, handcrafted at the historic Doccia Manufactory in Florence between the 1960s and 1970s. The celebrated “Galli Rossi” pattern, one of the most iconic in Ginori’s repertoire, features stylised red roosters and floral motifs in warm Siena tones, delicately hand-finished with 24k gold trim and accents. Each piece, made of fine hard-paste porcelain with a scalloped, embossed edge that catches the light beautifully, exemplifies the refinement and excellence of mid-century Italian craftsmanship. This extensive and iconic vintage fine porcelain tableware set is complete and perfectly preserved. An extraordinary rarity, this porcelain dinner service is almost impossible to find today in such a comprehensive and immaculate condition. Our set includes: 24 dinner plates, 12 soup plates, 12 dessert or fruit plates, 12 coffee cups with 12 saucers, one coffee pot, one sugar bowl, one milk jug, three oval serving platters, one round serving platter, one salad bowl, one soup tureen, two serving dishes, two cake stands, and one sauce boat. Every piece bears the “Richard Ginori - Manifattura di Doccia Florence Italy” backstamp, dating the service between 1965 and 1975, when Ginori successfully merged Tuscan decorative tradition with contemporary international taste. The ‘Galli Rossi’ motif, first introduced in 1747, draws inspiration from Eastern aesthetics, chinoiserie and the 18th-century European fascination with the exotic. Its stylised roosters, delicate foliage, and refined palette reflect the cross-cultural influences that shaped Italian decorative arts of the period. Depicting two roosters in a dynamic stance among stylised rocks and foliage, itts rich red and gold palette, combined with the sculptural basketweave texture, makes this set a true collector’s treasure. This complete set is in perfect condition and has never been used, making it an exceptional find for collectors and connoisseurs of Italian porcelain Discontinued in the 1980s, it remains highly sought after by connoisseurs and interior designers alike. Beyond the dining table, the “Galli Rossi” pieces make a striking decorative statement. Displayed in a glass-fronted cabinet, on open shelving, or styled as wall art, their warm Siena tones and gold accents bring a touch of Florentine grandeur to any interior. Designers often pair them with antique linens, Murano glassware, or dark wood furniture to create a layered, timeless look that celebrates Italian heritage. Perfect for elegant festive tables, refined dinner parties, or as a luxurious wedding or holiday gift, this Richard Ginori dinner service brings Italian heritage and sophistication to any setting. In excellent condition. A rare opportunity to acquire a complete service in excellent condition, perfect for collectors or as a centerpiece in a refined dining room.

Set the mood when you’re setting the table. The right antique and vintage dinner plates for the meals in your home can truly elevate the dining experience.
We haven’t had our own plate at dinner for very long. It wasn’t until the middle of the 19th century in Europe that individual dinner plates had become the norm, replacing the platters that diners had shared before them. Innovations at the dining table are believed to have been introduced by Italian noblewoman Catherine de’ Medici, who, when she married King Henry II of France in 1533, brought with her decorative table adornments for meals and fine tableware such as silver forks, replacing the fingers and knives utilized during dinner before her arrival. Italy was a bit faster on table settings, and, thanks to Catherine, tableware such as dinner plates would also replace the wooden trenchers and flat slabs of days-old bread that preceded them.
Today, while enthusiasts of mid-century modern furnishings might pine for vintage mismatched dinner plates — a mix of old and new can be refreshing — presenting ceramic vessels, glassware and decorative centerpieces that matched was once actually part of the point as setting the table became more refined during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. And as Fornasetti dinner plates and Chinese porcelain tableware have long held weight as collector’s items and status symbols, your dinner dishes haven’t ever really been merely functional. From antique metal dishes and ornamental earthenware designed by celebrated English ceramics makers Wedgwood, dinner plates are statement-making works that bring elegance and likely stir conversation at your table.
Entertaining is an art form, and the kitchen bar island and dining room table in your space are cherished gathering places where families and friends convene and grow closer over good meals. Browse an extensive collection of antique and vintage dinner plates to pair with these important events today on 1stDibs.
