1930s Italian Tall Dama, Polychrome Porcelain by Porcelain Cacciapuoti, Milan

About Maiolica Cacciapuoti
(Artistic Majolica Fratelli Cacciapuoti of Giuseppe, Ettore & Guglielmo Cacciapuoti - Schioppa & Cacciapuoti - Neapolitan Artistic Ceramic Factory of Mario Cacciapuoti & C. - Gres d'Arte Cacciapuoti & Bignami & C. - Gres d'Arte Cacciapuoti - Cesare Cacciapuoti.)
The manufacturing of artistic ceramics "Cacciapuoti" was founded in Naples by Cesare Cacciapuoti, belonging to a family of maiolicaari from Campania.
His son Giuseppe (1828-1896) inherited the company circa 1880, when some of his works were exhibited, first in Turin and then in Milan.
In the factory also works his brother Ettore who presents some of his ceramics at the Paris Exhibition of 1889.
At the beginning of the twentieth century, the manufacture, specialized in terracotta imitating bronze and copper, is managed by the sons of Giuseppe, Cesare (who opened in 1883 a factory in its own association with the manufacturer of crockery Schioppa), Ettore and Guglielmo.
Among the collaborators of this early period we remember the painter Giovan Battista Foschi.
Between the end of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, painters and modellers of the highest level collaborated with the firm, including Attilio Pratella and Filippo Cifariello.
In the early twentieth century the manufacture passes into the hands of Ettore and Guglielmo who work to make the production more modern and competitive starting to produce earthenware works made by casting.
In 1906 Ettore left the factory and moved to Paris where he began his career as a painter and Guglielmo took over all the shares in the factory and continued production under the name of "Stabilimento Ceramico Artistico Partenopeo".
In 1907 the sons of Guglielmo, Mario and Guido moved to Treviso where they collaborated with the "Gregory" ceramic factory and where they met Arturo Martini
In 1927 Mario and Guido, in partnership with Angelo Bignami, who deals with the commercial and administrative sectors, left Treviso and founded the "Mario Cacciapuoti & C." ceramics factory in viale Premuda 34 in Milan. Which remains active until 1930.
In 1930 Mario died prematurely and the management of the company remained in the hands of Guido, who started manufacturing on the road to success, producing a production of high quality and quantity, both models and pieces.
Among the ceramists working for the manufacture we remember: Francesco De Matteis, Giuseppe Granello, Ruffo Giuntini, Silvio Righetto, Giuseppe Renda, Achille D'Orsi and De Martino.
In these years some animalist models are supplied to the manufactory by the sculptor and ceramist Sirio Tofanari...

Antique and Vintage Porcelain Dinner Plates, Platters and Serveware for Sale
Today you’re likely to bring out your antique and vintage porcelain in order to dress up your dining table for a special meal.
Porcelain, a durable and nonporous kind of pottery made from clay and stone, was first made in China and spread across the world owing to the trade routes to the Far East established by Dutch and Portuguese merchants. Given its origin, English speakers called porcelain “fine china,” an expression you still might hear today. "Fine" indeed — for over a thousand years, it has been a highly sought-after material.
Meissen Porcelain, one of the first factories to create real porcelain outside Asia, popularized figurine centerpieces during the 18th century in Germany, while works by Capodimonte, a porcelain factory in Italy, are synonymous with flowers and notoriously hard to come by. Modern porcelain houses such as Maison Fragile of Limoges, France — long a hub of private porcelain manufacturing — keep the city’s long tradition alive while collaborating with venturesome contemporary artists such as illustrator Jean-Michel Tixier.
Porcelain is not totally clumsy-guest-proof, but it is surprisingly durable and easy to clean. Its low permeability and hardness have rendered porcelain wares a staple in kitchens and dining rooms as well as a common material for bathroom sinks and dental veneers. While it is tempting to store your porcelain behind closed glass cabinet doors and reserve it only for display, your porcelain dinner plates and serving platters can safely weather the “dangers” of the dining room and be used during meals.
Add different textures and colors to your table with dinner plates and pitchers of ceramic and silver or a porcelain lidded tureen, a serving dish with side handles that is often used for soups. Although porcelain and ceramic are both made in a kiln, porcelain is made with more refined clay and is stronger than ceramic because it is denser.
On 1stDibs, browse an expansive collection of antique and vintage porcelain made in a variety of styles, including Regency, Scandinavian modern and other examples produced during the mid-century era, plus Rococo, which found its inspiration in nature and saw potters crafting animal figurines and integrating organic motifs such as floral patterns in their work.
