Approximately 15" x 7" x 5. NO chips, cracks, missing pieces. Bottom shows minor ware from being placed on the mantle. Features a stunning Victorian Lady in a horse-drawn carriage. DON'T let other sellers fool you!

This particular mold is NOT rare. However, not all pieces are treated equally!!

Always ask for a picture of the stamp on the bottom, if one has not been provided! Be made in Italy or Spain (NOT Japan). Stamp should resemble an IPA, "N" or (most rare) fleur-de-lis.

Most valuable are marked with a clearly identifiable crown or coronet, as well. After 1925, the "crown" more resembles upside down raindrops (like this listing). Capodimonte porcelain is named for porcelain produced in the Neapolitan region of Italy, (and Spain, for a while), not for a single factory or maker. The first manufactury of this hard-paste porcelain was the Royal Factory, built-in "The Royal Wood of Capo-di-Monte" in Naples, Italy. The early Capodimonte pieces created before the first "Royal Factory, " (pre-1743), used the Fleur-de-Lis symbol.

The Fleur-de-Lis in a circle was impressed or inscribed on most pieces, while the solid one was a painted under-glaze mark in blue or gold. If you find yourself with one of these trademarks, it is like hitting the lottery.

While this sculpture is NOT a 1700's piece, this vintage production is captivating with its intricate design and attention to detail. Made of the same HIGH quality porcelain, in Italy. And of course, thank you for watching!
