This teacup is one of my favorites from my collection. It is unique in so many ways. I believe it is the only cup I have that was made in Italy. It is also more shallow than the others and different style and color. It is hand painted. I love the contrast of the greens...the leaves, pinks of the red clover, the smudgy brown "background" and the gold edging.
A link to a cup the same as mine had information stating they believed it to have been painted "in house" and is signed G Nucci. It is listed for sale at $45.75! I have a collectors item! haha!
The stamp is "Ginori" - I looked this up and came across some information about the manufactory that was started in 1735....as follows: Richard Ginori
The history of the Ginori Manufactory began in Doccia, just a stone's throw away from Florence. Inspired by his passion for white gold, Marquis Carlo Andrea Ginori started a porcelain factory which was destined to become a worldwide icon of style...
