I want some info on Capodimonte collectibles; flowers, teapots. etc. Nuevo and galleria. I’m new to this?

I have recently bought a few Capodimonte items in junk shops, because I liked the looks. Then found they were collectibles. Am curious about the history and origin and value of course. One has “Capodimonte Galleria” stamped on it, and the smaller one says “Nuevo Capodimonte” Any info will be appreciated. Thanks

History of Capodimonte

Capodimonte porcelain actually dates back centuries. The first pieces fired by this company were produced in Naples, Italy from 1759 to 1780 at the Royal Factory, according to the Capodimonte Limited website.
“The Capodimonte name was synonymous with the finest quality Neapolitan porcelain and Ceramics From that period onward,” the site explains. The Royal Factory, which no longer exists, came to being when King Charles of Naples married Maria Amalia. She was the granddaughter of Augustus II, who in addition to being the King of Poland, also founded the first European hard paste porcelain factory in Meissen, Germany.

King Charles developed a curiosity about porcelain through his new wife’s family. This interest turned into a passion that led to many years of research and development before the Royal Factory came about.

Once the formula for porcelain paste was perfected, many skilled craftsmen and artisans, both men and women, worked to produce fine Capodimonte pieces. Plates, vases, small and large bowls, tea and Coffee Cups, large and small jugs, sugar bowls, tea caddies, teapots, snuff-boxes, and walking stick handles mounted in gold are among the fine pieces produced at the factory in Italy.

The factory eventually moved to Spain and back to Italy again several decades later under the direction of King Charles’ son, Ferdinand. During this period, the shape, style and decoration of the porcelain production was similar to that of the original Capodimonte factory.

Collecting Capodimonte Today
While this history is interesting to say the least, these aren’t the types of items most collectors of Capodimonte porcelain find offered for sale in antiques shops today. Most of the oldest examples are in impressive high-end collections and museums now.

What modern collectors do find are mid-century electric lamps like my mother’s, figurines of varying quality, carefully molded flowers, which are actually quite beautiful, and other decorative objects made during the last century. Most of these are marked with some variation of the blue N under a Crown Mark; many of them are also marked with factory marks. But remember, not everything marked Capodimonte is created equally.

“The Capodimonte logo, in the present day, is not necessarily a guarantee of porcelain or ceramic quality. Neither is it a guarantee that the product is in fact porcelain or ceramic,” Capodimonte Limited states. In other words, it pays to do a little research to know exactly what you’re buying before plunking down a pretty penny on a piece of porcelain.

To familiarize yourself with what’s being produced today under the Capodimonte Arte’ name, you can always visit the company’s website. There you’ll also find resources for appraisals and repairs, which can always come in handy:
