Porcelain, earthenware, ceramics

Richard Ginori

The Richard Ginori porcelain manufactory has existed since 1735. One of the most interesting and important departments is the department of artistic items. Its products make up forty percent of the total volume of porcelain produced at the manufactory, while the rest consists of utensils and individual decorative elements. No new revolutionary technologies have appeared in recent years, as the workshop still uses gypsum forms that are greased with Marseille soap and olive oil, and quality control is done by eye. And the workers say that porcelain comes alive only when the master slowly and lovingly breathes life into it.
