Introduction

In 1735, the Florentine Marquis Carlo Ginori founded a porcelain manufactory on his estate in Doccia, near Florence, Italy. In order to produce porcelain in Italy like the ones of Meissen klin in Germany, he studied clay and colour for himself.
In the times of his son, Lorenzo Ginori, various porcelain clay was imported from abroad and improved repeatedly.
This is how the white porcelain called Tuscany's fair skin was born.
A series of Italian Fruits which is still loved by many people today was made in public in this age.

New Era

The merger of Richard and Ginori initiated a new era in 1896.
In 1965, Italian Ceramic Society (SCI) of Laveno was taken over by the Richard-Ginori Group and the Richard-Ginori Italian Ceramic Society was founded. It became the largest procelain manufacturer in Italy.
