Add timeless Italian elegance to your collection with this vintage set of three Capodimonte porcelain rose figurines by artist Mario Puzo. Handmade in Naples, Italy, in 2001, each piece features a beautifully formed pink rose accompanied by sculpted buds and dimensional green leaves. The delicate petals and hand-painted details showcase the traditional artistry for which Capodimonte porcelain is admired.
These unused old-stock pieces have never been displayed as home décor. They are ideal for a curio cabinet, mantel, vanity, tabletop, or bookshelf and would make a thoughtful gift for collectors of vintage Italian décor, porcelain flowers, and Capodimonte artwork.
PROVENANCE
I personally knew artist Mario Puzo and his family and spent many days at their family-operated factory in Naples, Italy. I watched the artisans form and decorate these porcelain flowers by hand and was also welcomed into the family home for dinner on many occasions. This set was obtained directly from the family factory during my 2001 visit and has remained in my possession ever since.
The three pink rose figurines shown in the photographs are the exact pieces the buyer will receive.
