While this history is interesting to say the least, these aren’t the types of items most collectors of Capodimonte porcelain find offered for sale in antiques shops today. Most of the oldest examples are in impressive high-end collections and museums now.
What modern collectors do find are mid-century electric lamps like my mother’s, figurines of varying quality, carefully molded flowers, which are actually quite beautiful, and other decorative objects made during the last century. Most of these are marked with some variation of the blue N under a crown mark; many of them are also marked with factory marks. But remember, not everything marked Capodimonte is created equally.
“The Capodimonte logo, in the present day, is not necessarily a guarantee of porcelain or ceramic quality. Neither is it a guarantee that the product is in fact porcelain or ceramic,” Capodimonte Limited states. In other words, it pays to do a little research to know exactly what you’re buying before plunking down a pretty penny on a piece of porcelain.
To familiarize yourself with what’s being produced today under the Capodimonte Arte’ name, you can always visit the company's website. There you’ll also find resources for appraisals and repairs, which can always come in handy.
