Not only were these articles in relief and of great beauty made here, but also very excellent, creamy, soft porcelain painted on the flat, and exquisitely painted, too. The specimens I have seen have a character of their own, which has the great merit of being indigenous and not an imitation. The tea-services, of which we now and then see single pieces, are lovely.
Fig. 144.—Capo di Monte.
Mr. Prime has some excellent pieces, of both styles; as has Mr. Wales, from whose collection we have engraved our illustrations.
The three pieces marked Fig. 142, 143, and 144, are painted on the glaze, and are exquisite both for design and color.
The single vase ([Fig. 145]) has two bands, most delicately modeled and painted in relief.
