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]
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.
