Vintage Capodimonte Style Lattice Small Bowl

Capodimonte porcelain, originating from the Royal Porcelain Factory of Capodimonte in Naples, Italy, is renowned for its intricate sculptural details and delicate artistry. Founded in 1743 by King Charles III of Bourbon and his wife Maria Amalia, the factory quickly gained prestige for its high-quality, often rococo-inspired, decorative pieces. These items, including figurines, tableware, and ornamental baskets, are characterized by their fine modeling and often feature floral motifs and elaborate pierced work.  Spanish ceramics, particularly from regions like Manises, also have a long and rich history, dating back to the Moorish period. Manises became a major center for lusterware and later for decorative ceramics, including baskets and fruit bowls, often featuring vibrant glazes and detailed hand-painting. The style of this basket, with its openwork and applied floral elements, is consistent with decorative porcelain produced in both Italy and Spain during the mid-20th century, reflecting a continuation of traditional artisanal techniques.
