The piece presents a lavish bouquet of hand-applied roses in blush pink and warm butter yellow, rising from a footed oval basket with finely molded Rococo scrollwork relief along the body.

Each petal is individually formed and applied by hand, with the characteristic Capodimonte technique of matte bisque on the flowers contrasted against high-gloss glazed foliage in deep hunter green. The result is a richly dimensional, painterly composition that reads as sculpture as much as decorative object.

The footed base features cartouche panels and acanthus-scroll detailing consistent with the Rococo Revival aesthetic that made Capodimonte florals perennial favorites in European and American interiors from the postwar era onward.

Some minor petal loss and light wear consistent with age and the inherent fragility of the form. Priced and represented accordingly.

Measures 16.5"W × 13.5"D × 11.5"H. A significant presence for a mantel, console, or dining table. See less
