 eighteenth-century Neapolitan porcelain, the production environments and their history, whether it was Capodimonte or Naples, had left their mark. The first to take advantage of it was the prestigious Ginori factory, at the hands of Carlo Leopoldo (very close to the Neapolitan city as his father Lorenzo had been) who already in 1821 purchased the molds of Capodimonte and the Real Fabbrica Ferdinandea, including the right to use the crowned N as the brand. The mark, however, was used by the Florentine house on porcelain only from 1840 until the beginning of the twentieth century and, upon careful examination, appears significantly different.
