    It's lovely.
    The best way to get an approximate fair market value is to search ebay completed sales, then search for any website auctions selling this type of item in the last two years, then visit all the online auction houses you can find dealing in this type of item and scroll thru their sales to spot any prices realized for similar forms , then find any online dealers offering this type of item for sale..........and when you've finished that exhaustive search , combine everything you've learned and come back here to report your findings ,adding to our vast array of knowledge so that we can point others in the same direction.................................

    Walter will be along shortly. But in the meantime, there's no such thing as real Capodimonte of the period this was made. 1960s, probably, and komo is spot on. ;)

    Does that tiny writing below the N say "made by KMP"?

    You might try using the word ewer or pitcher. Although these items were never made to be used as they were intended for decorative purposes only.

    Look closely at the flowers for damage as they will get chipped if they are looked at wrong.

    I think it says Made in Italy.

    Boy, that sure looks like "Made by KMP"!! It should say "Made in Italy." The printing all looks deliberately messed up except for the Crown over the N. If it does say KMP, do y'all think this is out of China???

    Hm. If it were chinese, I'd expect a more fake mark, so a proper Made in Italy stamp.

    I think it's strange that I can't find anything similar online

    I know that, so then where should i start

    You could start by using the correct spelling and terminology - Capodimonte (not that your item was actually made by the "famous" one by that name, but people seem to use that name regardless.) And secondly what you showed us is not a figurine, it's a ewer-shaped pitcher or vase.

    Please forgive me if these are the actual terms you have been using, but I wanted to make sure.

    I understand I spelled the name wrong, but do you think I don't know how to search on the internet and that it's a pitcher or a vase.

    I was just trying to help, because you are clearly frustrated with the lack of results. Sometimes even the most experienced searchers get tripped up.

    don't take offense...it's not how to search...it's what to search......and being off by a letter or comma ...or missing out a critical word.........and if it's there ...you still may not find it....
