The Crown and Neapolitan N Logo The Crown and Neapolitan N, was originally painted or impressed on porcelain and ceramics produced at the Royal Factory in Naples from 1759 to 1780 and was synonymous with the finest quality Neapolitan porcelain and ceramics from that period onwards.

However, the logo, in the present day, is not necessarily a guarantee of porcelain or ceramic quality. Neither is it a guarantee that the product is in fact porcelain or ceramic. Capodimonte Marks The History of Capodimonte Porcelain The origin of Capodimonte porcelain dates back to the early eighteenth century and geographically to the Kingdom of Naples. It was from this union that Charles' interest in porcelain production in Naples first sprang. In spite of many efforts, including those underhand, the formula for porcelain remained a mystery. In 1759 Philip V of Spain died and Charles took up the Spanish throne becoming Charles III King of Spain (1759-1788).

Lladro Message Board re: lladro Aranjuez Little Lady. Lladró Collectors Group | Lladró Collectors ForumDiscuss, Buy and Trade Lladró Porcelain and Lladró Figurines with other collectors Lladró has become a household name for their fine porcelain figurines. Each Lladró figurine is hand crafted and hand painted continuing the tradition begun in 1953 by the three Lladró Brothers – Juan, José and Vicente Lladró, at their studios in the village of Almácera near Valencia, Spain. Starting with items such as vases and jugs, it wasn’t until 1956 that they started producing the sculptures for which they are now most famous.

Enthusiasm for the items produced by the Lladró brothers saw their small workshop expand several times until eventually they moved to Tavernes Blanques in 1958. The original studio has now become the ‘City of Porcelain’ and is open to the public. In New York on 57th Street there is a Lladró Museum, showcasing an extensive range of figurines by the Lladró Brothers from the 1940s till today. Related Lladró Features.
