Richard-Ginori, controlled by Richard Ginori s.r.l., was born in 1735 as Manifattura di Doccia, founded by the Marquis Carlo Ginori in the locality of Doccia (Florence). It is famous all over the world for its porcelain, the production of which is still located in Sesto Fiorentino, despite the merger with the industrial group of the Milanese Augusto Richard, owner of other factories, which took place in 1896, hence the current name, and the constant growth of the volume of the product.
Of historical and artistic importance is the related Richard-Ginori Museum of the Doccia factory, adjacent to the current factory, which collects the production of the factory since its foundation.
Richard-Ginori, officially bankrupt in January 2013, was purchased in May 2013 by the Gucci group, which in turn is controlled by the French company Kering.
