Vintage Capodimonte Italian Porcelain Cherub Ewer Vase Hand Painted Gold Gilt

This spectacular mid-century Italian Capodimonte porcelain ewer (Model 3649 L – Large) showcases elaborate sculptural workmanship, featuring angel figures, raised Baroque scrollwork, and classical mask detailing executed in high relief. The piece is richly embellished with genuine 22k gold gilt throughout and displays a hand-painted floral medallion bearing the decorator's signature, confirming its artisan production.

A finely modelled seated angel forms the handle, adding charm, elegance, and visual balance to this iconic Capodimonte form. The depth of moulding, precision of hand painting, and fired gold finish highlight the exceptional craftsmanship for which Capodimonte workshops are internationally renowned.

This example is the large "L" form, notable for its substantial size and weight, making it a striking statement piece for collectors of Italian porcelain, Rococo-inspired décor, or angel-themed art. A magnificent collector's piece and an exceptional example of large-scale Capodimonte craftsmanship, rarely encountered in this form and size.
