Francesco Vezzi
Italian potter
Quick Summary
Francesco Vezzi was an Italian potter who established a hard porcelain factory in Venice in 1720. This factory produced fine hard porcelain with a slightly smoky color and a Baroque style, notable for its brownish-red palette. While Vezzi's factory was significant for producing hard porcelain in Italy, most Venetian porcelain was made later by Geminiano Cozzi, who began his factory in 1764 and worked in the styles of Meissen and Sèvres.1
