Vintage Mid-Century Italian Capodimonte Style Reticulated Basket & Footed Bowl Set

Vintage Mid-Century Italian Capodimonte-Style Reticulated Display Bowls - 2 Piece Matched Set

Bring a touch of romantic, romantic "cottagecore" elegance to your home with this stunning matched pair of mid-century Italian decorative bowls. Crafted in the iconic Capodimonte style—likely from the historic ceramic hubs of Bassano or Nove, Italy—this set includes a footed double-handled dish and a graceful handled basket.

Both pieces feature intricate, hand-pierced reticulated lattice work and are adorned with exquisite, hand-modeled three-dimensional applied porcelain wildflowers and vibrant hand-painted interior medallions.

Because these pieces were hand-sculpted by different specialized artisans within the workshop, they feature complementary authentic markings on their unglazed bases. The double-handled bowl features a faint blue "MADE IN ITALY" ink stamp under the glaze, while the basket bowl bears a raw handwritten incised "ITALY" signature.

• Paint: The hand-painted details and interior glaze remain incredibly crisp, bright, and vibrant.
