[QUOTE="sassafras, post: 2778807, member: 6320"]If you're asking if it's original Capodimonte from the 18th century, it's not. It's a 20th century figurine using the Capodimonte marks. I agree with the above posters that it's most likely from the 1970s. "Take some time to carefully examine examples of [URL='https://www.thesprucecrafts.com/pottery-and-porcelain-marks-4121981']several different marks[/URL] used by the original factory, along with others from the [B]numerous companies that rekindled the Capodimonte tradition in the 20th century."[/B] That little snippet was taken from link below. It has a pretty straight forward explanation for the marks on new pieces. Clear as mud, right? :facepalm: [URL]https://www.thesprucecrafts.com/understanding-capodimonte-marks-148588[/URL][/QUOTE]
