ProfessionalProduct description
Large Capodimonte porcelain plate, hand-painted and relief-worked, made in the 1950s, Ø 35.5 cm. Capodimonte porcelain is a type of high-quality porcelain of great historical value, closely linked to the city of Naples and the Bourbon dynasty. The origins of Capodimonte porcelain date back to 1743, when King Charles of Bourbon and his wife Maria Amalia of Saxony founded the Royal Capodimonte Factory within the eponymous Royal Palace. Their objective was to create a factory that could compete with the prestigious European factories of the era, such as Meissen in Germany, where Queen Maria Amalia was from. The factory gained fame for its particular blend of kaolin and feldspar, which gave it a warm, milky hue, similar to ivory. The master artisans of Capodimonte specialized in the production of statuettes and figurines, floral decorations, and dinnerware. The historical production of the Royal Factory ceased after the court's transfer to Spain. However, the art and tradition of Capodimonte porcelain have been carried on by several private manufactures in Naples, which still produce handcrafted items today, following the original techniques.
