Ginori 1735 Antico Doccia Set of 10 Tea Cups and Saucers

This set is bound up with a great many happy breakfasts at Hertford Street. The late, great Willie Landels steered Robin Birley towards Ginori for Hertford Street, and this is a design that has barely changed in 250 years. The pattern dates to 1745 and its design is borrowed from Florentine baroque silverware. Ginori porcelain was once collected by the Medici and even Napoleon's wife. Rather good company for a cuppa, we think.
