Historical Curiosities

Among the Neapolitan artisan creations that boast a record of excellence in the world, there is undoubtedly the Capodimonte porcelain, flagship of the Bourbon dynasty. In 1743, the Royal Factory of Capodimonte was founded inside the Royal Palace of Capodimonte, home of King Charles of Bourbon and his wife Anna of Saxony, whose artistic production over time became more valuable and famous than the French and German ones.

For over 250 years  Real Fabbrica di Capodimonte has been dedicated to the production of unique works, finely crafted by the hands of the few master ceramists remaining today, who passionately carry on the tradition. Elegant centerpieces and precious vases, design objects ranging from ancient to modern, created ad hoc and 100% handmade, to adorn homes and prestigious locations.

The porcelains from Real Fabbrica di Capodimonte stand out for the uniqueness of their mixture, soft and milky in colour, deriving from the fusion of various types of clay which does not contain coalin.

The brand that represents them, i.e. the unmistakable crowned N that marks the back of each piece produced, symbolizes the sophisticated fusion between tradition and art,  expresses in itself the spirit of a long historical journey capable of renewing itself in step with the times, while retaining the peculiar artisanal characteristic thanks to which every single piece produced is a true work of art.
