Fine white-glazed white porcelain group of two figures under a stylised foliage blooming with roses. Created in the Rococo style, the sculpture points to a period when the porcelain company purchased models from the closed Capodimonte porcelain manufactory (Real Fabbrica di Capodimonte), re-formed and cast them, and marked with an “N” and a crown to indicate the products are from a manufactory near Naples.
