Richard Ginori - Dinner set for 6 (21) - Porcelain - Shower

Majestic 6-person service from the prestigious Italian manufactory Richard Ginori. The service is made in the form of the model "Doccia," one of the most celebrated from the famous manufactory. The shape of these plates still echoes the first Doccia model, which, unlike the "Antico Doccia" model, reissued by Richard Ginori from the late twentieth century, has smaller plate diameters, in keeping with the taste of the 1950s and 1960s, different from the modern one.

The plates are also embellished with a gold thread running along the edge. On the rim of the plates there is an additional decoration: a bouquet of flowers of different types and colors.

The service is composed as follows:
6 antipasto plates
6 soup plates
6 flat plates
1 salad bowl
1 gravy boat
1 round tray

Table service with classic lines, Doccia is the place where in 1735, from the artistic and entrepreneurial intuition of Marquis Carlo Ginori, the historic Manifattura was born, the factory of white gold. The Doccia shape defines the deepest essence, which identifies the manufactory worldwide as a Maison of excellence of pure porcelain and design. Curved lines and a profile inspired by late Baroque Florentine silverware make Doccia a timeless collection. The essential white evokes a sense of coming home, to a place of our own, unfading in its beauty.

The plates are in generally good condition. It is noted that one plate is a replacement from a service with a similar border by Winterling Bavaria; one plate has a small chip. The flat and soup plates bear a newer mark than the saucers and the serving set; the crenellations, typical of the Doccia model, are also slightly deeper on the plates with the newer mark, as shown in the photograph.
