RICHARD GINORI

Late 19th C. Complete Service

£5,200

An extraordinary late 19th- to early 20th-century porcelain dinner service by Manifattura Ginori. A rare and geometrical design featuring violet pansies with green racing stripes and gilt rims. Preserved with exceptional completeness. Each piece displays the distinct, refined finish of the renowned Tuscan manufacture and bears the maker’s stamp on the base. This set features:

23 Dinner plates

12 Soup plates

8 grand serving platters

1 elevated stand (alzata)

1 monumental covered tureen

10 delicate egg cups

Directly originating from a distinguished noble Tuscan household, this service offers a rare glimpse into the ritual and splendour of turn-of-the-century estate dining.

Finding an ensemble of this scale intact is remarkably rare, particularly with fragile ancillary pieces like the egg cups and grand serving platters reaching 58 cm. It stands as both a testament to Ginori’s legendary ceramic mastery and a tangible piece of aristocratic Italian history.
