Capodimonte porcelain is porcelain created by the Capodimonte porcelain manufactory, which was established in Naples, Italy, in 1743. Capodimonte porcelain was made in direct emulation of Meissen porcelain. Capodimonte is famous for its moulded figurines and its decorative modelled flowers applied to cups and vases.

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 Majellofactory, which continues to produce Capodimonte porcelain.

In 2012 the first e-store of Capodimonte Porcelain is founded by Vincenzo Castaldo through "Capodimonte's Finest".

Why Sellingantiques dated this piece to THE 1880s:
Fine stippled enamel painting over moulded relief: typical of Italian mythological wares.
Scalloped brass mounts with pinned hinge: traditional fitted metalwork for large table boxes.
Darkening and age tarnish along the brass mounts: decades of handling and exposure.

This is an antique Italian Capodimonte porcelain table casket from 1880, designed in the Neoclassical style. The rectangular piece combines polychrome enamelled porcelain with gilt brass mounts, featuring a hinged lid and an ornate clasp. The multicoloured exterior displays elaborate relief moulding, depicting a gladiatorial scene with an emperor and empress on the lid, alongside playful putti on the upper body and a dynamic hunting scene on the lower walls. The body measures 17 cm high, 25 cm wide and 14 cm deep. Today, the casket serves as an ornamental container for treasured items when placed on a sideboard top in a living room or study. The hinged design provides practical access to the interior compartment, while the decorative scenes offer visual interest from every angle. The combination of detailed figural relief work and metal mounts creates a grand display piece suitable for traditional interior settings.

FAQs

Capodimonte porcelain originated in Naples, Italy, in 1743 under King Charles III. The style is characterised by detailed relief moulding, vibrant polychrome hand-painting, and classical or mythological scenes.

These caskets were typically constructed from hard-paste porcelain with low-relief moulded designs, hand-applied enamel glazes, gold leaf accents, and fitted with cast brass or bronze mounts and clasps.

Authentic pieces often feature a crowned N mark stamped or painted on the underside, sharp high-definition relief moulding, and hand-chased brass fitments rather than modern glued hinges.

A porcelain table casket can be placed centrally on a dark wood sideboard, marble mantelpiece, or console table to serve as a focal point alongside structured modern accessories.

Dust the surface regularly with a soft, dry microfibre cloth or dry soft-bristled brush. Avoid immersing the item in water or using liquid cleansers, as moisture can damage metal mounts and underlying adhesive.
