Gio Ponti was the artist who transformed Richard-Ginori’s production more than any other: the factory’s art director from 1923 to 1930, he implemented a complete revitalization that included the shapes and decorations of the ceramics as well as the graphic design of the catalogues, posters, commercial photographs and logos of the various different product lines. In 1925 at the Paris International Exposition of Decorative Arts, Ponti’s ceramics received the most prestigious prize, the Grand Prix. The boldest of all the surrealists, his eclectic works revisited and confidently expressed Art Nouveau designs, whilst also displaying influences from neoclassicism, Etruscan art and even esotericism.
