## About Richard Ginori

Richard Ginori identifies a historic Italian porcelain manufacturer, not a single artist. Its origins lie in the Doccia porcelain factory, founded in 1737 by Marquis Carlo Ginori at his villa in Doccia, now part of Sesto Fiorentino near Florence. The Ginori family continued to own and manage the enterprise until 1896, when it merged with the Richard Ceramic Society of Milan; the resulting Richard-Ginori name became closely associated with Doccia production. Collectors therefore encounter Richard Ginori chiefly through porcelain and other ceramic objects carrying factory-related names, marks, or attributions. Because the name covers a long manufacturing history, it should not be interpreted like the biography of an individual artist. Establishing an object's form, factory mark, approximate date, production period, condition, and restoration history is more useful than assigning personal birth or death dates to the entity.

## Common works and media

Collectors are most likely to encounter Richard Ginori under porcelain, ceramics, and decorative-art categories. The available identity source connects the name to the historic Doccia porcelain factory and to the Richard-Ginori identity adopted after the 1896 merger. The supplied evidence does not reliably establish a complete list of object forms, named patterns, designers, subjects, or production series, so those details should be verified from marks, specialist catalogues, and object-specific documentation before publication or appraisal.

## Market and appraisal context

Richard Ginori auction comparisons are most useful when they involve objects of the same form, material, scale, production period, and attribution. Condition deserves close inspection: chips, cracks, losses, surface wear, overpainting, and restoration can make superficially similar porcelain objects poor comparables. Factory marks, inscriptions, documentary provenance, catalogue references, subject matter, rarity, and the confidence of the maker attribution may also affect appraisal conclusions. Appraisily's collected page reports matched public auction activity, but name matching alone does not establish that every record belongs to the same factory period or product line. Realized prices should therefore be compared on a consistent fee basis and treated as evidence for analysis, not as automatic predictions of value.

## Appraisily data basis

Appraisily artist pages combine entity research with matched public auction records, auction-house context, sale dates, realized prices, and comparable lots when those records are available. For Richard Ginori, the current source pack supports the factory identity but remains too limited for a complete institutional or catalogue-based history.
