Capodimonte Crown Over Neopolitan N Mark This mark was stamped in blue on a variety of pieces including decorative objects and tableware made in the second Capodimonte factory to be established in Naples by King Charles VII’s son, Ferdinand. This is the mark most often associated with Capodimonte by dealers and collectors. It was used from 1771 until the factory closed in the early 1800s (some sources indicate a closing date of 1817, others say 1834). Pieces marked in this way occasionally make their way into the secondary antique market, usually at high-end antique shows, and are highly prized by collectors when found in excellent to mint condition. Again, most wares bearing Capodimonte old marks are in private collections or museums and rarely found by collectors on the secondary market today.
