The King had founded the factory in 1743 within the royal palace of Capodimonte, probably encouraged by his wife Maria Amalia.  She was the daughter of Augustus III of Saxony, the patron of the Meissen porcelain factory, and therefore was no doubt keenly aware of the prestige attached to porcelain and its manufacture.\r\n\r\nOriental style decoration had been popularised at Meissen under the direction of the artist J. G. Heröldt. The bold figures on this vase however, are unusually large in scale for European porcelain.","physicalDescription":"Vase of soft-paste porcelain of tall Chinese 'beaker' shape, painted in enamels with Chinoiseries, comprising two richly dressed male figures, one seated on an elaborate carved chair, the other in attendance to one side, a large vase of flowers and child to the left, a lady standing arranging flowers in a basket behind, the figures framed by large and exotic blooms and flowering trees.","artistMakerPerson":[],"artistMakerOrganisations":[{"name":{"text":"Capodimonte porcelain factory","id":"A25270"},"association":{"text":"manufacturer","id":"x33306"},"note":""}],"artistMakerPeople":[],"materials":[{"text":"soft paste porcelain","id":"AAT10665"}],"techniques":[{"text":"painted","id":"x30138"}],"materialsAndTechniques":"Soft-paste porcelain painted in enamels","categories":[{"text":"Ceramics","id":"THES48982"},{"text":"Porcelain","id":"THES48907"}],"styles":[{"text":"Chinoiserie","id":"AAT21167"}],"collectionCode":{"text":"CER","id":"THES48594"},"images":["2008BV1590","2008BV1589","2008BV1579","2006BD4981","2018KY5531","2018KY5530"],"imageResolution":"high","galleryLocations":[{"current":{"text":"145 (VA)","id":"THES49865"},"free":"","case":"41","shelf":"3","box":""}],"partTypes":[[{"text":"Vase","id":""}]],"contentWarnings":[{"apprise":"","note":""}],"placesOfOrigin":[{"place":{"text":"Naples","id":"x32548"},"association":{"text":"made","id":"x28654"},"note":""}],"productionDates":[{"date":{"text":"ca. 1750","earliest":"1745-01-01","latest":"1754-12-31"},"association":{"text":"made","id":"x28654"},"note":""}],"associatedObjects":[],"creditLine":"","dimensions":[],"dimensionsNote":"","marksAndInscriptions":[{"content":"fleur de lys mark in blue","inscriber":{"name":{"text":"","id":""},"association":{"text":"","id":""}},"date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"description":"","interpretation":"","language":"","medium":"","method":"","position":"","script":"","translation":"","transliteration":"","type":"","note":""}],"objectHistory":"","historicalContext":"","briefDescription":"Vase of soft-paste porcelain of Chinese 'beaker' shape, painted in enamels with Chinoiserie, made at the Capodimonte porcelain factory, Naples, ca. 1750.","bibliographicReferences":[{"reference":{"text":"","id":""},"details":"","free":"Caròla-Perrotti, Angela, ed, contributor and curator.  <u>Le Porcellane Dei Borbone Di Napoli</u>  Naples: Guida Editore, 1986, no. 21, p. 73.
