Fascinating Fun Facts: • Capodimonte figurines became world-famous for their humorous character studies and rustic everyday themes. • The hollow base with vent holes is a hallmark of Italian porcelain craftsmanship, used to prevent cracking during high-temperature firing. • Collectors often describe these rustic character studies as Dickensian, evoking the literary world of Charles Dickens and pairing well with Dickens Village collections.
