I’m wondering if anyone can identify if the attached pictures are from an actual Capo Dimonte piece. I was presented with this item as a gift 20 years ago and have always kept it in my home when someone told me that it was a Capodimonte from Italy. I took a picture of the mark on the bottom of the piece, which is also attached. Any assistance would be appreciated. Thanks!

The Capodimonte name (once refering to the former factory of Naples) is one of the most misused marketing tags worldwide. It is no factory or maker but a REGION in Italy and – as such – houses a wide collection of factories, potteries and artists, many of which are totally overrated and/or overpriced.
Matching marks is no matter of comparing one mark against the marks table of one company.
