This beautiful Capodimonte ceramic cup and sugar bowl set dates back to 1940s Italy, an era characterized by refined taste and excellent craftsmanship. Capodimonte, famous for producing high-quality porcelain, has created in this set a work of art that reflects the tradition and elegance of the past.
The set consists of two cups, each measuring 6 cm in height (approximately 2.4 inches) and 9 cm in width (approximately 3.5 inches). The sugar bowl, which completes the set, is 13 cm high (approximately 5.1 inches) and 14 cm wide (approximately 5.5 inches).
The cups and sugar bowl are decorated with a refined relief motif depicting putti (cherubs), a recurring theme in Capodimonte works, which recalls classicism and Renaissance iconography. The putti, executed with remarkable attention to detail, are set in a background of leaves and flowers, creating a rich and dynamic scene. The predominant color is an intense blue, enriched by delicate golden details that highlight the contours and add a touch of luxury.
The style of this set is typical of the period, with a strong neoclassical influence that is evident in the choice of subjects and the sophistication of the details. The handles of the cups and sugar bowl are finely modeled, taking up ornamental motifs that give an air of solemnity and timeless elegance.
These objects, although small, perfectly represent the craftsmanship of Capodimonte, famous for its ability to combine art and functionality. The set is ideal not only as a decorative element, but also for everyday use on special occasions, evoking the charm and sophistication of a bygone era.
