On the edges, neo-Renaissance style decorations with grotesques and winged dragons. Present restoration. Ancient Neapolitan manufacture Giovanni Mollica, former ceramist at the Real Fabbrica Ferdinandea, founded by Mollicas in 1842, becoming one of the most important majolica manufactures at the end of the 19th century, in the first half of the 1920s the young Giuseppe Macedonio collaborated and in 1927 the factory buys some molds from Guido Cacciapuoti and puts them into production. In 1930 Carlo Mollica modernized the production creating interesting works whose brand used is a crowned M, instead of the crowned N of Capodimonte.
