CAPODIMONTE PORCELAIN FINDS ITS HISTORY AS FAR BACK AS 1743. THIS MAGNIFICENT HAND MADE PORCELAIN STEM OF PINK ROSES IS MADE IN ITALY AND MEASURE 10.5cm x 7.8cm. THERE IS NO DAMAGE TO THE PETALS. EACH PETAL HAS BEEN EXQUISITELY HAND PAINTED TO GIVE IT AN ABSOLUTELY REALISTIC FEEL. I THINK THE STEM IS BRASS PLATE.

THE CAPODIMONTE PORCELAIN TRADITION ENDURED THANKS TO THE CREATIVITY OF THE NEAPOLITAN ARTISTS. DURING THE SECOND HALF OF THE 19TH CENTURY, THE FIRST HANDICRAFT FACTORIES WERE CREATED. THEY WERE ALL FAMILY-MANAGED. IN 1867, ALFONSO MAJELLO, KNIGHTED "CAVALIERE DEL LAVORO", FOUNDED THE MAJELLO FACTORY, WHICH CONTINUES TO PRODUCE CAPODIMONTE PORCELAIN.
