    I found a near identical one listed on eBay for a lot more. That seller listed it as early 20c.

    I think it’s a bit more modern than that. It is marked with a crowned N in blue. I’ve not found this crowned N In any of my books or on the Internet.

    Any thoughts ? I don’t think it’s an intentional attempt to fake Capodimonte.

    It's used by many so called Capodimonte factories. That looks 1960s to me.

    Think it's a Potschappel (Carl Thieme) mark from the 1960s.

    Nice find.. Mine frist thought is an early 20th century ernst bohne & sons from rudolfstad Germany. but i can't find this crowned N mark with the 2 vertical lines in mine german boek.
    Maybe its an italian mark

    The crowned N mark was never copyrighted. There are a ton of different versions.

    Anak, the mark is different on yours. The two marks, while similar, have distinct differences. The "loose" painting style and colors on yours lend to the notion that it's Italian.
