Special Exhibition in Commemoration of the Donation of the Masao Morita Collection: "Italian Porcelain--Classic and Modern by Richard Ginori" at Aichi Prefectural Ceramic Museum(愛知県陶磁美術館 盛田昌夫コレクション寄贈記念 特別展「イタリアの磁器‐リチャード ジノリのクラシックとモダン」)

2025.07.27

In fiscal 2022, the Aichi Prefectural Ceramic Museum received a donation of 149 works from Masao Morita, dating from Richard Ginori's opening period to around 2000. This donation commemorative exhibition will feature the Masao Morita collection on public display for the first time.
The history of Richard Ginori began in 1735, when Marquis Carlo Ginori of Florence began his efforts to produce porcelain, which was the object of admiration among European royalty and aristocracy at the time. In 1737, he opened the Doccia Kiln on his own territory in Tuscany and perfected the art of porcelain. It grew in popularity among royalty and aristocrats, and in 1896 it merged with the Società Ceramica Richard of Milan to become "Richard Ginori." During this period, when the company evolved into a modern ceramics company, it produced a wide range of tableware, from everyday items to luxury porcelain, and amid an era of transition in decorative arts, it also produced artistic ceramics to decorate living spaces, developing into a world-famous ceramics manufacturer.
During the 1920s and 1930s, architect Gio Ponti served as its art director, breathing new life into Ginori's designs. In 2020, the brand name was changed to "GINORI 1735," which it remains today. To this day, while continuing to cherish the classics of Italian art, the company also explores new modern designs and has produced numerous masterpieces.
