Capodimonte Bruno Tyche ceramic figurine MATERNITA' DONNA BAMBINO, made in Italy, dating from 1950–1960, with dimensions 21 cm high, 16 cm wide and 14 cm deep, in as-new condition.
Description from the seller
Capodimonte porcelain was born in 1743 in Naples and is distinguished by the Bourbon Lily mark or the crowned N, symbols of authenticity and artisanal tradition.
History of Capodimonte ceramics
Capodimonte porcelain owes its name to the eponymous hillside area of Naples, where in 1743 King Charles of Bourbon and Maria Amalia of Saxony founded the Real Fabbrica di Capodimonte with the aim of creating a high-quality porcelain production capable of competing with the German Meissen factory.
The factory became famous for its delicate porcelain, finely sculpted and decorated, thanks to the contributions of artists such as sculptor Giuseppe Gricci, decorator Giovanni Caselli and chemist Livio Ottavio Scheper, who perfected the paste and working techniques.
During the Real Fabbrica period (1743-1759), pieces were marked with the Bourbon Lily, often decorated in blue underglaze or incised, a symbol of prestige and craftsmanship.
Subsequently, in the production under Ferdinand IV (1771-1825) in Portici, the marks changed: initially “FRM” topped by a crown, then a crowned “N,” which became a recognizable symbol also for tourists and collectors.
