- What or who is Capodimonte?
Many people are not sure what Capodimonte means. It is a style accredited to the very finest Italian porcelain, and its fascinating origins date to the eighteenth century when Charles VII took Princess Maria Amelia Christina of Saxony for his bride.
Most Capodimonte pieces are marked with some variation of the blue N under a crown mark; many of them are also marked with factory marks.
- While out of print, Capodimonte Collectibles by Bloom (Publications International) is a good reference on this type of porcelain, and can be found through out-of-print booksellers online.
A portion of the Princess's fabulous dowry consisted of extraordinary examples of Meissen porcelain produced in her father,s royal workshop. An enlightened supporter of the arts, Charles immediately resolved that such beauty should be produced in Italy as well.
In 1743, The Royal Manufactory of Porcelain was erected on the grounds of the royal place. It stood high atop a hill, and it soon became known to all as Capodimonte, which means top of the mountain.
