Product 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 with 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 goal was to create a manufactory that could compete with the prestigious European factories of the era, such as Meissen in Germany, where Queen Maria Amalia originated from. The factory gained fame for its particular blend of kaolin and feldspar, which gave it a warm, milky, ivory-like hue. Capodimonte master artisans 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 various private manufacturers in Naples who still produce handcrafted objects today, following the original techniques.
