Capodimonte - Coffee service (30) - Porcelain

In this extraordinary, complete, and monumental service in original Capodimonte porcelain, entirely handcrafted in high relief with mythological, allegorical, and pastoral scenes of putti. This exceptional collection set is presented and sold together, but it consists of two complementary Capodimonte lots, designed to cover with the utmost elegance both the tea service and the coffee service.

Each single piece is a sculptural work of art, characterized by vivid pastel polychrome tones, richly finished in solid gold, and spectacular sculptural elements: the handles and spouts of the pourers are molded in the shape of sea creatures and stylized dolphins, while the cups rest on iconic tripod feet with a honeycomb-gold interior. The coordinated saucers feature a refined beaded edge.
