Ginori - Table service (18) - Porcelain

For auction, a prestigious service of dishes in finissimo white porcelain, consisting of 16 pieces: 8 Flat Plates 8 Deep Plates. This set represents a unique opportunity to acquire a piece of Italian table history. The design is characterized by timeless elegance, typical of high-end production intended for noble tables of the era. The purity of the white and the quality of the glaze attest to the extremely high technical level reached by the manufactory. Historic and Collectors’ Note: A detail of immense value for connoisseurs: this set bears the Ginori mark preceding the historic merger with Richard (which occurred in 1896). The production is therefore datable between the late nineteenth century and the very early twentieth century. Unlike the subsequent “Richard-Ginori” production, these pieces belong to the period when the Doccia manufactory was still under the leadership of the Ginori family. They are objects that embody the transition between the neoclassical taste and the early influences of the Umbertine style, making them items of superior rarity and definite antique interest.
