Founded in 1735 by Marquis Carlo Ginori in Doccia, near Florence, the Italian porcelain manufactory Ginori rapidly established itself as one of Europe’s premier producers of fine tableware and decorative arts. Renowned for its fusion of traditional craft with vibrant artistic innovation, the company grew into a prominent global luxury brand through an 1896 merger that created Richard Ginori. Over the centuries, the atelier elevated everyday ceramics into museum-worthy art by collaborating with legendary creative directors, most notably architect Gio Ponti in the 1920s. Today operating under the Gucci group as Ginori 1735, the house continues to craft iconic, hand-finished porcelain collections that blend historic archival designs with modern luxury.
