This fantastic covered bowl has gilt highlighted figural branch handles with gold gilt around the footing as well. It is decorated with relief scenes around the body of bears dressed and acting has human characters. They are participating in various activities including a mother nursing her two children. It also has a scene on either side of the lid with two full figural characters for the finial. It has nice detail with rich colors and is marked on the bottom with the Naples factory Capodimonte mark, as can be seen in the photo. Please do not confuse this with later or reproduction Capodimonte pieces that are readily available and easily acquired. This piece is original Capodimonte and very rare, likely only to be found in museums or in high end private collections. It dates circa 1771 - 1834 and measures 11 inches tall by just under 11 inches across including the handles. It is in excellent condition with the exception of one small surface fleck along the underside edge of the rim of the cover, as can be seen in the photo. The lines that can be seen in on the inside of the footing are firing lines that occurred in the making of the piece and do not affect it in any way. This would make an incredible addition to your collection of Capodimonte or would make an excellent gift to anyone you know who collects Capodimonte.
