Know before you buy
While the porcelain is high-quality, the delicate hand-painted pigments and precious metal details are best preserved by hand washing. Avoid abrasive sponges to maintain the vibrancy of the floral patterns.
The Antico Doccia is a signature Richard Ginori silhouette characterized by its elegant, timeless curves. It provides a classic foundation that balances the modern, vibrant color application of the Oriente Italiano collection.
No, each plate is individually hand-painted using an airbrush technique. Because of this artisanal process, you may notice slight variations in color intensity or pattern placement, which makes every piece unique.
These plates are designed for functional use and are durable enough for special occasions or elevated everyday dining. However, they are fine porcelain, so they should be handled with the care typically afforded to luxury dinnerware.
The plate features a refined, high-quality glaze typical of fine Italian porcelain. This finish protects the hand-painted pigments while providing a smooth, lustrous surface that catches the light.
