Porcelain Flower Vase with Floral Decorations (1950s)

The vase features three-dimensional floral decorations typical of the renowned Italian Capodimonte porcelain tradition. The technique of individually applying flowers, leaves, and other sculptural elements to a ceramic or porcelain piece is a distinctive characteristic of the Capodimonte style, known for its abundance of intricate details and the unique milky hue of the material. This decorative trend became popular across Europe starting in the early 18th century, when manufacturers began producing porcelain pieces adorned with lavish floral motifs, partly inspired by the Orient, yet developing into a unique and opulent style. The vase dates from the early to mid-20th century. On the back, it bears a crown with an N, the signature Capodimonte hallmark. The condition is excellent, which increases its value.
