Capodimonte Rose Bouquet

Mid 20th Century/Naples, Italy

Capodimonte porcelain is renowned for its intricate artistry, particularly its floral sculptures and figurines, originating from the Capodimonte Manufactory in Naples, Italy, founded in 1743. The style is characterized by its delicate details, lifelike representations, and often vibrant colors, making it highly collectible. Many pieces are hand-painted and sculpted, showcasing exceptional craftsmanship.

This type of floral arrangement, often referred to as a 'posy vase' or 'flower basket,' was popular in the mid-20th century as decorative home accents. These pieces were frequently made in Italy and exported worldwide, becoming symbols of European decorative arts. The detailed rendering of roses and leaves is a hallmark of Capodimonte-style porcelain, often mimicking the natural beauty of flowers with remarkable realism.
