When most folks think of capodimonte they think of pottery with attached flowers - vase, console bowls, statuettes, place card holders and such. Manufacturers thought if they included an N with crown mark the capodimonte name would help their items sell. I did find a similar style mug listed on ebay: Vintage Capodimonte Beer Stein Italian Stoneware Forest Drunkard Raised Signed. </p><p><br /></p><p>I'm a bit late to the party on this one but I think the 1970 on your mug is the date. It actually looks like some kind of composite as opposed to pottery. There were steins and statues that appeared around the 1970's that seemed to be more glazed plaster than anything else. It should be light weight relative to other steins. If you're looking for titles, 38Flyer, I would try Carriage House Made in Italy Beer Stein with Hunter Motif. I would stay away from mentioning any kind of material. The appeal here is as man cave stuff. Leave the price tag on, of course, although I think that price is at least four or five times would it could get on a good day. It's nice but stein values have never recovered from the last recession.</p><p>Don[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
