Vintage Capodimonte Italian Cherubs/Putti Porcelain Figurines

Vintage Capodimonte Italian porcelain figurine depicting two cherubs interacting beside a tree trunk. This exceptional group exemplifies the refined aesthetic of Capodimonte ware, which originated in Naples in 1743 under King Charles VII and evolved into a hallmark style across Italian workshops renowned for hand-painted, intricately detailed pieces.
The work displays quintessential Rococo characteristics: delicate pale skin tones, soft pastel drapery, finely sculpted floral foliage on the tree branch, and an ornately moulded base with gilded detailing. The putti—a classical motif symbolising playful, cherubic figures—remain a celebrated subject in decorative arts. Signed and stamped by Toni Cingano, a distinguished 20th-century Italian sculptor, the base bears his maker's mark. Cingano was celebrated for designing a broad range of bisque porcelain figurines for Capodimonte workshops, from classical cherubs to expressive character studies. A notably scarce example, seldom encountered in the current market.
