Capodimonte Style Vintage Porcelain Ensemble with Hand Applied Roses, Pair of Vases, Compote, Lidded Box and Ewer

Some collections simply refuse to be split up, and this romantic five piece ensemble is one of them. Handed down as "Grandmother's collection from Croatia," it gathers a matching pair of tall vases, a footed compote, a lidded trinket box and a graceful little ewer, all in the unashamedly decorative Capodimonte tradition. Every piece wears a froth of hand applied porcelain roses in soft greens, plums and buttery yellows, set off by gilded accents, painted Moorish style cartouches and a fine craquelé glaze that only deepens the vintage charm.

This is porcelain at its most theatrical, the sort of grouping that turns a plain shelf or mantel into a little stage set. It is made in the manner of Capodimonte rather than carrying a factory pedigree, so it offers all the drama of the style with the honest patina of genuine age and gentle family use. Buy the whole story in one go, or scatter the pieces through a room and let them flirt with each other across the space.

Styling & Collectors Inspiration

This ensemble adores company. Echo its hand modelled roses with our Pair of French White Marble Bedside Lamps with Pink Pate de Verre Rose Shades on a dressing table, then hang the Mystical Roses Still Life by Aurel Naray above for a properly blowsy, flower filled corner. Collectors of decorative interiors can extend the theme with our Pair of Original Floral Oil Paintings on Canvas, while the Antique Oval Crystal Mirror with Ornate Gilt Frame behind the compote will bounce the gilding and the candlelight beautifully.
