Luxury and elegance. The French Porcelain at court and the Ginori Factory (1800 - 1830)
Museo degli Argenti, Palazzo Pitti - Piazza Pitti 1 - Florence
from 19 March until 23 June 2013

The Soprintendenza for the Historical, Artistic and Ethno-anthropological Heritage, the Museums of Florence and the Association of Amici of Richard Ginori Factory, organized this exhibition that highlights the important collection of Porcelain of Palazzo Pitti and the production of the Ginori Factory in the period between the Napoleonic domination and the Lorraine Grand Duchy (1800-1830). This exhibition is dedicated for the first time to the first thirty years of activity of the Ginori factory, a Europe-wide phenomenon that characterized the first three decades of the nineteenth century with very intense exchanges with the French manufacturer of the time, in particular Sèvres.
