Description
1950s Italian Art Capodimonte Hand Painted Plate with 18k Gold Trim - Measures 12" Hand Painted in Good Condition Normal Wear, See Photos. This Italian Capodimonte Hand-Painted Plate is an exquisite example of Neoclassical revival porcelain, specifically featuring a high-relief bas-relief scene of reclining figures and cherubs (putti) in a lush garden setting. The plate showcases the hallmark Capodimonte style with its vibrant, hand-painted polychrome enamel and elaborate reticulated (pierced) rim, which is heavily accented with 18k gold trim. This specific design often depicts mythological or allegorical scenes, such as the "Matriarchal Art" series or scenes of Venus, and was highly popular in mid-20th century Italian exports for its "Hollywood Regency" and Baroque aesthetic.
