Founded in 1735 in Doccia, near Florence, by Marquis Carlo Ginori, Ginori 1735 (formerly Richard Ginori) is one of Italy’s most distinguished luxury porcelain manufacturers. Celebrated for its “white gold” porcelain and finely hand-painted, intricate designs, the company became a leading name in European decorative arts after merging with Società Ceramica Richard in 1896. Its artistic direction under Gio Ponti (1923–1933) further elevated its international prestige. The brand has collaborated with many international designers in the past and still operates under the name Ginori 1735, continuing to blend tradition with contemporary creativity.
