In 1825 it was revived by some descendants of the first Antonibon, who struggled on for ten years, but they could not sustain themselves against the capital, the clay, the brains, and skill of Saxony and Sèvres. They still make there, as they always did, maiolica, fine and common, and _terraglia_ faience, in considerable quantities and of much excellence, called in France _terre de pipe_. This _terraglia_, it may be said, is a sort of demi-porcelain, being made of a mixture of the true porcelain clay and the native potter's clay. It is susceptible of great precision of modeling and of a high finish, and some beautiful work has been done in it in Italy. [Illustration: FIG. 141.--_Nove Porcelain Vase._] The marks of Nove were usually a star or asterisk, with six rays; sometimes the letter N, or the word NOVE, was added. [Illustration: _Marks of Nove._] CAPO DI MONTE--SOFT PASTE.--This beautiful porcelain was made first at Naples in 1736, under the direct patronage of the king, Charles IV., afterward Charles III. of Spain. The king was an enthusiast, and sometimes worked in the factory himself, and under this inspiration it is not surprising that excellent work was done. But, besides this, very common services and figures were made later, many of which bear the mark of the _fleur-de-lis_, so that all Capo di Monte is not equally good or equally valuable. And the same may be said of the productions of any man or any manufactory. A letter written to Lord Chatham in 1760 says of this King Charles: "He is particularly fond of the china-manufacture at Capo di Monte. During a fair held annually in the square before his palace at Naples, there is a shop solely for the sale of a part of this china, and a note was daily brought to the king of what was sold, together with the names of those who bought; and it is said he looked often favorably upon the persons who made any purchases." [Illustration: FIG. 142.--_Capo di Monte._] The king, being of a Spanish family, succeeded to the crown of Spain in 1759, when he carried with him many of the workmen and his own tastes, and established there the manufactory of _Buen Retiro_, of which is a brief account hereafter. After his departure the factory languished, lacking his interested inspiration. The marked originality of the Capo di Monte porcelain is the _designs in relief_ which were impressed upon the plaques, and also upon teacups, vases, etc. These were very delicately and carefully _stippled_ in colors, and this distinguishes them from imitations and reproductions which have been made in great numbers at Florence, and which are sold at very much smaller prices.
