Description from the seller

Elegant porcelain table service – Richard Ginori
'Antico Doccia' shape – Blue floral pattern – Excellent condition

Magnificent tableware service by the prestigious Richard Ginori, crafted in the renowned Antico Doccia shape, one of the oldest and most iconic silhouettes of the manufactory. A harmonious and luminous ensemble that captivates with its balance, purity of lines, and grace of decoration, fully reflecting the timeless elegance of the great Tuscan ceramic tradition.

The Antico Doccia shape, created in the 18th century and remaining over time one of Ginori's most iconic models, is immediately recognizable by its flowing lines and slightly wavy, soft yet sculpted edges, which give each plate a profile rich in character. It is a form that combines classicism and naturalness, a perfect synthesis of 18th-century rigor and Italian decorative taste.
The decoration, of rare delicacy, features floral ramages in shades of soft blue, arranged with balance and lightness on the pure white of the porcelain. Small but vivid bouquets of fruits and flowers, painted with soft shading, create a fresh and luminous pattern reminiscent of aristocratic country services, where elegance and simplicity interacted naturally. A fine blue trim runs along the edges, accentuating the shape without overloading it. An ensemble that conveys grace, harmony, and a distinctly Italian charm.

Service composition

6 flat plates 24ø
6 deep dishes, 23 cm diameter
6 saucers, 19 cm diameter
- 1 round serving plate 30ø
1 soup tureen 29x23

Founded in 1735 by Marquis Carlo Ginori in the Villa of Doccia, near Florence, Richard Ginori is universally recognized as one of Europe's most illustrious porcelain manufacturers. Its creations, always balancing between classicism and innovation, have been loved by noble families, royal courts, and collectors of all eras. The Antico Doccia shape, in particular, represents one of the most enduring visual signatures of the maison, symbolizing Italian artisanal excellence.

Seller's Story

Vintage ceramics and porcelains are often worked and decorated with masterful precision and delicacy, they are objects of timeless charm, the result of knowledge handed down and widespread. From a historical and cultural point of view, they represent an extraordinary combination of craftsmanship and art, which takes the form of works of rare beauty. An authentic passion that drives me to identify shapes, models and decorations and to identify a possible or certain dating of the objects through a continuous study of sources and archives.
