Information about item: Capodimonte! Where can you not find Capodimonte pieces these days... Made in Italy, first produced from 1759 to 1780 at the Royal Factory. Early pieces are very difficult to locate and are highly valuable, but you still find tons of 20th century pieces; including the most popular floral porcelain designs, figurines, and lamps. A number of factories produce porcelain/ceramic and other quality items under the Capodimonte name. Most items do not have much value, and the majority of items found will presumably have slight imperfections. For example, 90% of porcelain flowers I encounter at second-hand locations are never in perfect condition. They flowers are ALWAYS cracked, chipped, and or missing leafs. It's very difficult to find a 100% perfect floral item, or even a 100% perfect figurine. The quality make is high on some of these items and this is why collectors will pay good money for certain pieces. I personally love the company designs and cannot help myself when seeing Capodimonte. Hey, maybe at some point I will find the perfect piece, but for now I will settle with this large type of floral bowl that I recently found at a flea-market. The woman wanted $25, but I was able to knock the price down to $20.00. The price was good, but my motto is to never pay asking price. Well, if the offer is low enough, I will some-times agree, but do remember, it never hurt's to ask. As for the logo, most items are marked N with a crown above. As shown below;
