CAPODEMONTE PORCELAIN LAMP (PAIR)
Capodimonte
porcelain dates back centuries in age and a vast array of wares have been marketed under this name. The name
Capodimonte, meaning "top of the mountain" in Italian, is apropos
considering the first pieces were produced a hilltop factory established by
King Charles VII.“The Capodimonte name was synonymous with the finest quality
Neapolitan porcelain and ceramics from that period onward.
What
modern collectors do find are mid-century electric lamps like the one
illustrating this article figurines of varying quality, carefully molded
arrangements of flowers, which are actually quite beautiful, and other
decorative objects made during the last century or so. Some of these are rare
and valuable in their own right, although they were produced in tribute to the
original wares rather than by the "official" Capodimonte factories of
previous centuries.
