Richard Ginori Tea Sets

Italian, b. 1920

The striking elegance and craftsmanship associated with vintage Richard Ginori porcelain and ceramics are hallmarks of the distinguished Italian manufacturer's deep heritage. Over nearly 300 years, the company has established a legacy of enduring design — its exquisite handmade serving pieces, tea sets, tableware, vases and more are coveted all over the world.

Richard Ginori traces its long history back to the village of Doccia, Italy, where marchese Carlo Ginori opened the Doccia Porcelain Manufactory in 1735. The factory employed talented Viennese painters and modelers, and although it took time for Carlo to perfect his models and molds, the company eventually became known for its impeccable white porcelain, inspired by Ginori's love of white gold. By 1779, the factory’s refined porcelain decorated palaces and stately residences.

In 1896, the factory expanded and merged with the Società Ceramic Richard of Milan. The new company was named Richard Ginori, and the early 20th century marked a period of artistic revival for the manufacturer.

In 1923, the influential Italian architect, publisher and furniture designer Gio Ponti was appointed as the company's artistic director (a role he held until 1933). He was still a young man at the time, but the now-celebrated polymath was fearless in his efforts to innovate at Richard Ginori — he introduced a contemporary spirit at the manufacturer and integrated ancient Roman art and other neoclassical elements into his richly ornate designs for decorative objects and ceramic vessels. At the 1925 International Exhibition of Modern Decorative and Industrial Arts in Paris — the design fair that brought the Art Deco style into the world — both Richard Ginori and its bold artistic director won a Grand Prix.

In the decades that followed, offerings at the storied porcelain manufacturer showed an adoption of the modern style that had taken shape in furniture design and decorative arts during the mid-20th century. In 1954, the company was renamed Ginori 1735, a reference to its inaugural year. Over time, Richard Ginori has partnered with numerous renowned designers such as Giovanni Gariboldi, Antonio Piva, Franco Albini and Aldo Rossi. In 2013, Gucci purchased the Ginori 1735 brand and factory.

Tea Set in Ceramic and Pure Gold by Gio Ponti for Richard Ginori
By Richard Ginori, Gio Ponti
Located in Milano, IT
Splendid tea set designed by Gio Ponti for Richard Ginori in the 30's. The set includes a large teapot, a sugar bowl and a cream jug. The set is made entirely of very fine white ceramic, with the edges embellished with pure gold, and a thin red stripe enriches the whole. The teapot is the largest and has a bulkier body, while then has a very fine spout and handle. The lid is also embellished with pure gold, and has a small gold band useful for filling the teapot. The milk jug is smaller and its opening is larger without the lid. It has a sturdier sleeve to allow you to hold it steady even with a heavier weight. The sugar bowl is the smallest, it has two beautifully crafted pure gold sleeves, it too has a lid to allow for sugar storage...
