Carlo Ginori began producing porcelain china at his estate at Doccia in 1735 and after five generations, the family merged with the Milanese company Richard in 1896. Still located in the Tuscany region of Italy, this fine porcelain china is one of the oldest in Europe. These two nut dishes measure 4-1/2" x 1" high and I believe the name of this pattern is SAVONA. They are a lovely blue floral design with a white background trimmed with a gold border around the fluted sides. Marked: Richard Ginori - Italy - they are both in excellent condition.
