A set made in Italy by the historic ceramic and porcelain company Richard Ginori, founded in Tuscany in Sesto Fiorentino in 1896, and currently owned by the luxury brand Gucci (Kering group) which acquired it in 2013. This tea set is made of white enamelled majolica decorated with hand-painted Tiffany green lines of different thicknesses. The design of this breakfast set, and obviously the logo imprinted on the cups, make it easily datable between the 30s and 40s; period in which both Gio Ponti and Giovanni Gariboldi worked side by side at Richard Ginori. The set consists of 4 tea cups with saucers, a teapot with built-in filter, and a sugar bowl. Although this set is more than 70 years old, it is in good vintage condition, intact, with minimal signs of wear and age naturally coeval with its age. The dimensions of the items are as follows: Tea cup: diameter 11cm, height 5.5cm Saucer: diameter 15.5 cm Teapot: diameter 25cm Height 12cm Sugar bowl: diameter 16.5, height 9cm This piece is attributed to the mentioned designer/maker. It has no attribution mark and no
official proof of authenticity,
however it is well documented in design history. I take full responsibility for any authenticity
issues arising from misattribution
