Here is some fascinating company history, from the Este Ceramiche website in Italy:"In 1953, Giovanni Battista Giorgini – already world famous as an “inventor” of the great Italian Fashion Shows in Palazzo Pitti in Florence in 1951 – discovered, during one of his trips to Veneto, an old semi-abandoned ceramics factory in Este. Giorgini, with his profound culture and aesthetic sensitivity, recognized hundreds of old dyes that were virtually buried in storehouses that showed signs of noble artisan traditions. Without Giorgini’s discovery, the history of Italian ceramics would have been deprived of one of its fundamental chapters and a great heritage of art and civilization would have been lost to mankind. Those molds, forms of refined elegance and decorations of rare beauty, represented the precious heritage of the great master ceramist of eighteenth century. Georolamo Franchini worked with an equally famous French modeler, Jean Pierre Varion, who was the first to introduce the porcelain formula into Italy. In the 1780’s, these two men opened one of busiest works in Este. Even at the time, Este was considered one of the most important production centers in Veneto as well as Italy. Due to the fact that Count Giorgini overcame many difficulties prior in his life, he managed to bring Franchini’s old works back to life, creating “Este Ceramiche Porcellane”. This company is currently led by G.B. Fadigati, Giorgini’s nephew and worthy heir. Este Ceramiche Porcellane is well known and today represents the genuine ceramics tradition in Este."
