Any info

Made in Italy definitely older. Anyone ever see this?

 

Hi Welcome Bunkie,
I hope Walter chines in. He is the Man when it comes to Italian ceramics.
All I can say is I saw a lot of similar items when I lived in Italian Brooklyn.

I can't find anythingike like it. I actuly have a few pieces for Walter if he chimes in. I bought them from an older women's family. She sadly passed away and her family sold it all to me for 50$. My husband fined them ugly. But I love them. I just wish I knew more!

 

Use "Capodimonte style" for searching.
"Capodimonte" like "Bristol" is a very misused.

 

I'd call it a rococo tazza. If you'd not said Italian I'd have thought German.

 

There was a lot of this style done jusr after WW2 in Italy as souvenir pieces and also items of "luxury" for the home market - bit like how some Eastern European countries adored the florid after the Wall came down.

 

Hi,
I posted this somewhere but I dont see it , So I will just type it again. Thanks tou all your help I found a match to My capodimonte Vase. Its made in Florence Italy! Its outlined in 24K gold. I have been looking for info on this for over a year and you all helped me in a day. Sooooo I have a couple more things to post. Thanks again!

 

As Clutteredcloset49 (Pat) suggested this is often referred to as a ""Capodimonte Style". It is not, however, an example of true Capodimonte porcelain which was produced in the 18th century. The confusion concerning is vast and I have written a number of articles on the subject. Here are three which might help clarify the issue.
