DOCCIA. The manufactory was founded in 1735 by the Marquis Carlo Ginori, contemporaneously with the manufactory at Sèvres. About 1760 it rose to great importance, and large groups were executed from the models of the most celebrated sculptors. In 1821 the moulds of the Capo di Monte porcelain were transferred to Doccia. [Illustration: FIG. 109.--TEAPOT.] About 1860 the fabrication of the imitative Capo di Monte ware of the 18th century, in coloured _mezzo-rilievo_, was brought to great perfection, as well as the successful imitation of the maiolica of Xanto and Maestro Giorgio of the 16th century, by the invention and introduction of metallic lustres in the colouring. [Illustration: FIG. 110.--BASIN.] Fig. 109, a teapot, is painted with flowers and purple border. Fig. 110, a basin, has a band of flowers in relief. Diameter 5-1/2 in. NAPLES--CAPO DI MONTE. This manufactory was founded by Charles III. in 1736. It is considered of native origin, as the art, which was kept so profound a secret in Dresden, could, at that early period, have scarcely had time to be introduced here, and the character of its productions are also essentially different. The king himself took great interest in it, and is said to have worked occasionally in the manufactory. The beautiful Capo di Monte services and groups in coloured relief are of the second period, _circa_ 1760.

Fig. 112, a saucer, bears a portrait of Ferdinand IV. and legend. Fig. 113, a cup and saucer, is painted with landscape and figures. Fig. 114, a coffee-pot, has classical subjects. TREVISO. There was a manufactory of soft porcelain probably established towards the end of the 18th century, carried on by the brothers Giuseppe and Andrea Fontebasso. [Illustration: FIG. 115.--ÉCUELLE.] Fig. 115, an écuelle, with blue ground, has gold fret borders and oval medallions of Italian buildings, landscapes, and figures. [Illustration: FIG. 116.--CUP AND SAUCER.] Fig. 116, the cup is painted with a garden scene, with a man and woman holding flowers, the former also holding a bird, the latter a cage. TURIN--VINOVO. Vittorio Amedeo Gioanetti established a manufactory of porcelain at Vinovo or Vineuf in 1770. Attempts in this direction had been previously made, but they were unsuccessful, and it was not until Gioanetti applied himself to the manufacture that it succeeded. The ware was noted for its fine grain and the whiteness of its glaze, as well as for the colours employed in its decoration. [Illustration: FIG. 117.--ÉCUELLE.] Fig. 117, an écuelle, is ornamented in gold, with initials and the Royal Arms. VENICE. Porcelain of soft paste was made here probably about 1720.
