I found a large figurine lamp, and am trying to figure out if it’s worth anything. I’ve attached a photo of the mark that appears on the inside of the base–from the research I’ve done, I doubt that it’s an original Capo-di-monte, but perhaps it is still valuable? From the entry in the Kovels’ book, I thought it could be from the Doccia factory of Italy or Societa Ceramica Richard (they are both using the N and crown now). But maybe it’s just a knock-off 😛
Thoughts? If anyone is interested, I also have photos of the lamp itself…
I live in New York City, and assuming it’s not a clear knock-off, I would appreciate any recommendations of places where I could get it appraised. [img size=340]https://kovels.com/media/kunena/attachments/legacy/images/Mark-89bf98d98ce64411feb1490331479d0a.jpg[/img]
I am also desperately seeking info on a capodimonte vase urn that has confused me and Google!!
I’ve never come across the makers mark before and only 1 image that is identical but a different colour porcelain?
I’m not sure if u guys can go back to my original post,
I’m new to forums so….
If anyone could help out at ALL
or direct to some one that could.
I would truly be so greatfull.
This piece has become a mystery for many!!
Ohhhhh the Curiosity!!!!
Thanks guys
Sorry, the lamp photo didn’t attach last time. Thanks for the input, and if anyone has a suggestion of where I could have it appraised, or what an appropriate avenue for selling it would be in the NY area (or online), I would really appreciate it.

No your lamp is not a fake. It’s just not really really old. I found your mark under capodimonte marks and made in Italy was smeary just like your’s.I can’t give you a value. It depends on condition and beauty. They are still using that same mark today so it’s very hard to date it. Iv’e seen lamp’s selling like your’s from $29.00 to $100rds. It’s up to you if you want it appraised.
