Capodimonte Porcelain Footed Vase

This is a vintage Italian porcelain footed vase produced in the Capodimonte style. The piece is constructed from ceramic with a glossy off-white or cream-colored glaze. It features an ornate, bulbous body characterized by vertical ribbing and intricate floral relief work, including applied rose-like blossoms and scrolling acanthus leaf details in high relief. The vase is supported by a substantial four-footed base with scrolled feet, which is a hallmark of mid-to-late 20th-century Italian decorative ceramics. On the underside, the item displays a distinctive blue backstamp featuring the 'N' beneath a five-pointed crown, accompanied by the text 'Capodimonte Made in Italy,' signifying its origin and style. The craftsmanship shows typical Italian assembly of the period, with delicate applied elements that are prone to chipping. Regarding its condition, there is visible surface wear on the soles of the feet where they touch the table, and minor dust accumulation in the crevices of the relief work. No major cracks are visible from this angle, though the applied porcelain floral elements often exhibit tiny 'flea bites' or minute chips. The style suggests a manufacturing date approximately between 1950 and 1980.
