Know before you buy
No, this mug is not dishwasher or microwave safe. Due to the delicate airbrush technique and fine porcelain craftsmanship, we recommend hand washing to preserve the integrity of the design.
The Antico Doccia is a classic, historical shape from the Richard Ginori archives. It is characterized by its elegant, refined silhouette that balances traditional Florentine aesthetics with a timeless, cylindrical form.
The iconic 'garofano' or carnation design is applied using a specialized airbrush technique. This method creates the signature soft, gradient effect that gives the mug its delicate and ethereal appearance.
While the mug is a beautiful decorative piece, it is fully functional for daily use. However, because it is handcrafted fine porcelain, it requires gentle handling and hand washing to maintain its finish over time.
No, this item is sold as a single mug. It is designed as a standalone piece, making it an ideal choice for building a curated collection or as a thoughtful, individual gift.
