'A Mad Tea Party'. Florence, Italy. January 2016.
If you are like me, you may not be familiar with the name Richard Ginori, however you have likely seen their work. Richard Ginori 1735 is the most famous Italian porcelain dinnerware producer and by the look of their designs and feel of the porcelain, one can understand why.
The presentation in their Florentine storefront is meticulous with designs ranging from classic to playful, natural to whimsical. All the collections are beautifully staged with the dinnerware on tables, shelves, and mounted on the walls—colorful pieces of eye candy everywhere. This room appealed to me because of the pastels—it reminded me of the type of porcelain that would be used in 'A Mad Tea-Party'. I think Lewis Carroll would be pleased.
