A beautiful example of French porcelain in the classic Capodimonte style, likely dating from the early 20th century.
The bowl features a vibrant relief of hand-painted Cherubs (putti), Leaves and a delicate floral spray painted inside the bottom of the bowl.

On the underside, it bears the iconic blue crowned "N" mark and is clearly marked "France," identifying it as a high-quality export piece.
The bowl is set into an ornate brass (ormolu) tripod base with scrolled handles and a decorative pierced top rim.

The metal is original to the piece and shows some wear, including a few small dings on the top rim and some natural green verdigris on the feet.
There is a slight, original glue ring visible on the inside rim where the metal was attached, which is standard for this type of turn-of-the-century construction.

Dimensions - 5" Diameter x 4.5" H (including handles
2.75" Diameter of Base (at feet)
Capodimonte - French Decorative Arts
Materials - Porcelain, Brass/Ormolu

Very Good pre-loved antique condition.
There are a few tiny, original kiln pits (little glaze pops) and a visible glue ring on the inside rim from when it was made, which are very common for hand-finished Porcelain pieces - all consistent with age. See last photo for kiln pits.
