Richard Ginori 1735
Diameter: 8.66 About Richard Ginori 1735
Its long history and commitment make it the first and only
factory to combine the beauty of fine art with the beauty of
everyday objects. The story of the ‘white gold factory’ is
that of a time-honoured vision, the story of an enterprise
that has retained its standing of absolute preeminence for
nearly 275 years, always questing for artistic and creative
excellence while absorbing changing styles and developments
in technique as they were introduced over the years.
The ‘white gold factory’ was founded in 1735 in Florence,
in the grand duchy of Tuscany, by the great thinker and
entrepreneur Marquis Carlo Andrea Ginori. When the
Florentine aristocrat created the factory that was to become
one of the most famous makers of artistic porcelain in the
villa on the family estate in Doccia, ‘white gold fever’ had
just begun to spread across Europe.
