Italian Capodimonte Eden Vase 12.5 tall x 12 wide x 4 deep x 5.5 base
Capodimonte refers to a style of soft-paste porcelain, originating in Naples, Italy. It is known for its fine delicate, decorative figurines and tableware. The name “Capodimonte” translates to “head of the mountain” which makes sense as the Porcelain Factory, which was founded in 1743 by King Charles VII, was located on a hilltop overlooking Naples.
Typical themes in Capodimonte porcelain include Rococo Designs, floral motives and scenes of Neapolitan life.
The original factory from 1743 no longer exists, but Capodimonte porcelain is still produced today by various manufactures. Antique Capodimonte pieces are highly sort after collectables.
