Message:: [QUOTE="Bakersgma, post: 412803, member: 59"]About that list of "Capodimonte" sculptors - If your purpose is to collect antiques, do not buy these. None of them is in any way associated with the original factory. Their use of the name "Capodimonte" for the wares they produce is strictly a marketing strategy for what amounts to "collectibles." The figurines they produce are made "in the tradition of" or "as an homage to" a factory that has not been operating since 1759. As I said before, the name "sells" and people fall for it. If you want to buy some for your own enjoyment, fine. But do not expect a monetary windfall in the near future.[/QUOTE]
