Vintage Capodimonte Italian Porcelain Girl with Parasol Cobalt Blue/White/Gold, a beautiful and rare piece for your collection.
Stands 8.5 inches tall
My research indicates this may be from pre-1834 however there have also been knockoffs so cannot be 100% sure which is why I am giving it to you at such a great price.
*****************************************
The first use of the Neoploitan “N” topped with a 5-point crown, (coronet), was in 1771. Spanish King Ferdinand I was having a Royal Factory built in Naples, and even though it was not completed until 1772, the blue “N” and crown were used for production pieces made that year in the Spanish Factory, and continued to be used after the manufacturing process moved back to Naples–until 1834.
Important Note: The Neapolitan “N” and crown were never trademark protected. There have been many variations with different fonts of the “N” and different styles of the crown or coronet. Technically any porcelain maker could use the mark and claim to be Capodimonte porcelain. And many have.
To be sure of the authentication, other factors must also be considered, such as; factory marks and back-stamps, even design and artist styles that are known and recognized.
