In fact, these motifs were already being used at the Real Fabbrica Ferdinandea in the 1780s (CARÒLA-PERROTTI 1986, p. 327-329). The decoration that appears on this coffee cup is not among those documented in Le Antichità di Ercolano esposte (GINORI LISCI 1963, p. 81 and BALLERI 2013, p. 61); it may be derived from scenes reproduced on Attic vases. We know that in 1808 Carlo Leopoldo purchased a book on Etruscan vases (BALLERI 2013, p. 61). This fact would suggest a date of between 1808 and 1815 for the cup. Despite the anomalies represented by the mark and the presence of the incised “E” neither of which are known on other Doccia pieces, the typical Ginori shape and the quality of porcelain clay would tend to confirm the attribution to Doccia that was proposed in the catalogue of the V&A Museum. The anomalies present in the cup also help to explain why it was sold in 1853 as a product of Le Nove and a year later published by Arthur Lane attributed to Buen Retiro (LANE 1954, p. 71) perhaps because the archeological subject was closer to the production of Capodimonte.\r\nR.B.\r\nBibliography: LANE 1954, p. 71\r\n\r\n"}],"production":"","productionType":{"text":"","id":""},"contentDescription":"","contentPlaces":[],"associatedPlaces":[],"contentPerson":[],"associatedPerson":[],"contentOrganisations":[],"associatedOrganisations":[],"contentPeople":[],"associatedPeople":[],"contentEvents":[],"associatedEvents":[],"contentOthers":[{"text":"figures","id":"AAT189808"}],"contentConcepts":[],"contentLiteraryRefs":[],"galleryLabels":[{"text":"Cup\r\nPorcelain\r\nMarks: an eight-pointed star and\r\n\"E\" incised, in red\r\nITALY (DOCCIA); about 1800\r\n3804-1853\r\n(Label draft attributed to John V.
