Pick Up OR Will Ship..

The particular Capodimonte ID mark shows these 5 Capodimonte pieces were made in the last Royal Capodimonte period, between 1771- 1834. As such, they are highly valuable.

Capodimonte factory was founded by King Charles III,. King Ferdinand was his son & this period 1770-1834, King Ferdinand’s reign, Fabricca Reale at Portici, was the final royal period of Capodimonte. The ID Mark for this period was the particular crown & the letter N in blue. There were / are counterfeit impersonators, the tell tale give away was / is different crowns.

Approx heights: Heights: The green Fighting Dwarf is approx 3 & 3/4", the Blue Hunchback approx 3 & 3/4", the the dwarf in the Red Vest approx 3 & 3/4", The Hunchback with Two Canes is approx 3 & 1/2", the Sitting Dwarf with the book is approx 2 &/1/8".

These were my grandparents. I grew up in their home, the ground floor was a museum: all the antiques were in built in displays in the living room & foyers, or on mantelpieces, or on mahogany furniture in the dining room. Or in a corner cupboard. These Capidimontes had been wrapped individually in paper, & kept in a box on a shelf for about 30 years.

4 of the Capodimontes are in perfect or excellent condition.
The guy in the red vest, with the knife that is battle shortened, & his right hand missing- those may be factory made physicalities. They are not jagged , & are smooth. My mom is in her late 80s, my grandparents had these when she was born, & she only remembers this guy being that way. But, one portion of his hat is broken off, & the feather in his hat broken off. So that piece has at least 2 flaws, possibly 4.
My mom took these Capodimontes out of hiding (out of the boxes) about 5 years ago. Kept them in that same corner cupboard. Time has come to sell them to some lucky collector.
