Museo delle Porcellane, Porcelain museum in Boboli Gardens, Florence, Italy
The museum exhibits over 2000 pieces of fine porcelain within the Casino del Cavaliere building at the summit of Boboli Gardens.
The collection features pieces from European royal families, including Napoleon's 1810 gift of Sèvres tableware to his sister Elisa Baciocchi.
European porcelain manufacturing techniques developed after discovering Chinese production methods, leading to competition among royal courts for skilled artisans.
Visitors can access the museum through the Boboli Gardens entrance, with winter hours from 8:15 to 16:30 and extended summer hours until 19:30.
The museum displays turtle-shaped butter dishes and rooster teapots from the Meissen Manufactory, representing innovative porcelain craftsmanship.
