<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Walter Del Pellegrino, post: 186018, member: 90&quot;]When you ask if the piece is Capodimonte I&#039;m assuming you mean to ask whether the item is porcelain or creamware. It is not porcelain. I believe it is probably Creamware. Is it Italian or English? That is difficult to answer. I believe it is most likely Italian but the origins have a tendency to blur. For example the actual clay was probably produced in England as Creamware clay (known as Terraglia in Italy) was exported to Italy. In the 19th century the English clay was considered the finest of its type available. The English latticework ceramics were considered superior in design and execution during the 1800&#039;s. It had a delicacy and artistry that, in my opinion, Italian works lacked. I believe that, based on the lack of markings and style , this example is mid 19th century.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
