Designed by Gio Ponti in 1946, the Oriente Italiano collection brings together elements of East and West to brilliant effect. Stylized garofani, or carnations, blossom on handcrafted porcelain in a palette of black and white. Synonymous with fine Italian porcelain, Richard Ginori was founded in 1735 by a Florentine aristocrat and its collections have graced the tables of luxury liners, grand hotels and the Vatican, to name a few. Each piece is handcrafted in Italy, as it has been for nearly three centuries. 4 oz. Made in Italy. Hand-wash only.This item is a special order. It is not eligible for expedited or next day shipping.
