GINORI 1735

GINORI 1735

GINORI 1735 traces its story to Marquis Carlo Andrea Ginori, who founded a porcelain manufactory near Florence in 1735 after becoming fascinated by Europe’s new “white gold.” The Doccia tradition grew through vivid color, sculptural forms and a willingness to let tableware carry the drama of a room. This selection keeps that tension alive across serving pieces, vases, candleholders and small objects for a table that does not need to behave.

A table with a point of view

Ginori’s history began with a Florentine ambition to make porcelain that could stand beside Europe’s most admired manufactures. The tableware selection shows why the house endured: bold prints, gold details and familiar forms that are still practical enough to use rather than preserve behind glass.

Porcelain beyond the place setting

The Doccia manufactory became known for fusing art and craft, and its decorative pieces make that heritage more obvious. Vases, candleholders and small ornaments give the room a dose of the house’s color and theatricality without asking you to redecorate everything around them.

Our honest take

Our honest take: Ginori is not for a room that wants to disappear into beige. Choose one pattern or color family and let it have the floor, especially if you are buying a serving piece rather than a display object. If you take one thing away, use the porcelain often enough to make it part of the household, not a guest waiting for a special occasion.
