This exquisite 11-inch porcelain vase is an authentic example of Capodimonte craftsmanship, a hallmark of fine Italian ceramics. The vase features a sophisticated flared, scalloped rim and a ribbed, shell-like body finished in a gradient of creamy whites and deep earth tones. The centerpiece of the work is a stunning, three-dimensional hand-applied floral arrangement consisting of three large, deep red roses in varying stages of bloom, complete with delicate green foliage. The realism of the "cold-porcelain" flowers, known for their paper-thin petals, is a testament to the skill of the Neapolitan artisans. This piece perfectly embodies the ornate, romantic aesthetic of traditional Italian decorative arts.

Condition Report

The vase is in very good vintage condition. The main body of the porcelain is free of cracks, crazing, or repairs. As is common with delicate Capodimonte floral work, there are a few very minor flea-bite chips on the outermost edges of the rose petals, which do not detract from the overall display. The base is clean and clearly marked with the blue Capodimonte "N" Crown mark and "Made in Italy."
