This is an Italian, hand decorated and hand painted, raised relief centerpiece bowl/planter. It looks like Capodimonte but the bottom does not have the Capodimonte crown. It is numbered in gold markings. There are, however, a number of unmarked Capodimonte pieces. This is very much like it and is a very old and lovely piece. It is floral embellished with raised figures of cherubs and florals. It has scrolled handles that are gold gilded. There is gold gilding around the rim of the four footed pedestal base. The scalloped rim is also rimmed in gold. There is heavier loss of gold at the top of one handle and some wear to gold rim. This is to be expected for it’s age as it is over 100 years old. It is stunning and a true antique. It is 18 inches long and 5 1/2 inches wide. It is 10 inches tall at handles and 9 inches tall in the center. These were typically filled with flowers and used in the center of the table. It is beautiful just as a display piece but could also be used to put fruit in or even chips. There are no chips, cracks acid or dings and has been well loved and cared for over the years. Just a gorgeous statement piece that shows just as well in contemporary environments as well as traditional ones. A beautiful, eye-catching statement piece. Colors of pinks, blues, deep yellow and dark green on a white background with gold gilding. Family piece purchased in Italy.
