Capodimonte History
Established in Naples in 1743 by the Spanish King Charles VII of Napoli and his wife Queen Maria Amalia of Saxony, the Royal Factory of Capodimonte started producing the finest porcelain and ceramic works of art in all of Italy. Renaissance-inspired chemists, sculptors and decorators all worked at the Capodimonte factory, perfecting the composition of soft paste porcelain and creating amazing works of art that were exhibited in the Museum of Capodimonte. During the Napoleonic Wars, royal interest shifted from art to politics, so the artisans at Capodimonte began creating beautiful decorations and vases for the middle class. Throughout more than two hundred and fifty years, both royalty and middle class alike have been enthralled by the exquisite craftsmanship of Capodimonte.

From intricate baby rattles to adorable baby booties, baby cribs to tiny pacifiers, these exquisitely crafted gifts are beautifully rendered in ceramic with a bisque finish and accented by gorgeous handmade roses and gently framing leaves. The interlocking basket weave design for which Capodimonte is famous imbues each porcelain masterpiece with an air of fragile beauty.
