Capodimonte is a distinctive style of porcelain that stands apart from all the other ceramic traditions of southern Italy. This delicate, ornate porcelain--historically produced outside of Naples-- is immediately recognizable for its tiny pastel flowers, sprays of buds, baskets, and elegant figurines. Today Capodimonte is a popular collectible throughout Italy as well as abroad.
From the start, Capodimonte was special, as it departed from the traditional recipe used in other porcelain centers. The unusually delicate, reflective quality of the finished pieces brought Capodimonte its distinctive style in the world of porcelain.
The Fullin Mollica family is one of the higher-quality producers of Capodimonte, tracing its heritage back to the Mollica factory, which was active in Naples during the nineteenth century. It specializes in little bouquets and sprays of pastel flowers, each bud individually painted by hand.Small imperfections, testify to the uniqueness of this product.
