DOLLHOUSE CHINA -- CAPODIMONTECapodimonte is a term generally applied to Italian made porcelains. For more infomation visit the History of Capodimonte. The porcelains on this page, however, are each individually hand made by Marsha Hedrick in the Capodimonte style in miniature. Some of the pieces start with a molded porcelain piece to which the hand formed porcelain flowers are attached. Others are entirely built by hand. Due to the large amount of hand formed work on these pieces they are each one of a kind. Although I may do similar pieces they will all be different.
