Flowers and plants

Capodimonte porcelain decoration, known for its intricate detailing, originated in Naples, Italy. It began production at the Royal Factory of Capodimonte in 1743 under King Charles III of Spain. It is known for its detailed and vibrant designs, often featuring delicate floral arrangements, figures, and scenes.

The manufacturing process is complex and involves skilled artisans modeling the designs from clay before the porcelain is fired and glazed.

The ballerina among the flowers is not from the same manufacturer as the flowers but is added in. In my opinion, she refines the flower arrangement.


The plant in the picture is shepherd's purse (*Capsella bursa-pastoris*), a common weed with heart-shaped seed pods. It is non-toxic to pets and is sometimes used in folk medicine. The leaves and seeds are edible and can be used as a seasoning or in salads. It grows in my garden and is liked by my hen (Papaya).
