The pure white china has a soft swirl texture and is decorated with delicate gold floral sprays and thin gold rims on the cups, lids, and tray.

Each pot has the classic rounded shape with a comfortable handle, perfect for individual custards, mousse, or espresso. The lids keep things neat and look charming when the set is out. Richard Ginori’s fine Italian porcelain and careful gold work give it that quiet elegance these pieces are known for.

Richard Ginori traces its roots back to 1735, when Marquis Carlo Ginori founded a porcelain manufactory at Doccia, just outside Florence. It was one of Italy’s earliest and most ambitious porcelain works, known from the start for fine quality and elegant designs. In 1896 the Ginori factory joined forces with the Milanese ceramics firm of Augusto Richard, creating the Richard Ginori name that became famous worldwide for refined tableware and decorative pieces. The company has a long reputation for craftsmanship, and pieces like this set still carry that classic Italian elegance.

Each pot with lid is approximately 3.75"H x 3.5"W x 2.75"D; the tray is 10" in diameter and .5" high. See less
