Capodimoelicate, ornate porcelain--historically produced outside of Naples-- is immediately recognizable for its tiny pastel flowers, sprays of buds, baskets, and elegant figurines. Today Capodimonte is a popular collectible throughout Italy as well as abroad. This is a distinctive style of porcelain that stands apart from all the other ceramic traditions of southern Italy.
This piece is authenticated by the seal that bears a crown and the signature letter "N" below it, on the bottom of the vase.
