Italian Capodimonte tea set 7.75 tall x 14.5 wide x 11 deep 

This exquisite antique tea set is a classic example of Capodimonte porcelain, renowned for its elaborate design and fine craftsmanship. Originating in Naples, Italy, Capodimonte porcelain was first produced in the mid-18th century by the royal factory established under King Charles III of Bourbon. Inspired by Meissen porcelain from Germany, the Capodimonte factory became known for its richly detailed figurines, mythological scenes, and ornate decoration. 

This particular tea set features hand-painted neoclassical scenes,  inspired by Rococo and Baroque art, often depicting cherubs, gods, and pastoral vignettes. The gilded interiors and elegantly sculpted handles—shaped like swan necks or mythological beasts—reflect the opulence and romanticism typical of 19th to early 20th-century revival pieces.

The ornate base with lion masks and foliate motifs underscores its decorative purpose, as these sets were often displayed in salons as symbols of refinement and aristocratic taste. Capodimonte porcelain remains highly collectible, admired for its fusion of Italian artistry and courtly elegance.
