An antique pair of 19th century Ginori Capodimonte urns. Reliefs on the side depict nude and clothed people dancing and eating. There is also a snake and half beast man.

The Doccia porcelain manufactory, at Doccia, a frazione of Sesto Fiorentino, near Florence, was in theory founded in 1735 by Marchese Carlo Ginori near his villa, though it does not appear to have produced wares for sale until 1746. It has remained the most important Italian porcelain factory ever since. In 2013 it was acquired by Gucci.

Measure 12" high, base 5" x 5", top opening 9 1/4" and bowl depth 7 1/2".
