As promised I looked up the spelling of the pottery the lady at the thrift thought this pitcher was. "Capodimonte"
After going to that store every week, I think she believes any old, dirty ceramic piece is Capodimonte. I hear her saying it all the time and it's not something that comes up in a normal conversation. I'm sure she may have seen a few but they don't show up at thrift stores all that often.
This pitcher is very heavy and it's not marked on the bottom. I don't think it's even vintage but made to look old and a decorative piece. You would have to have gorilla arms to pour anything out it. It also doesn't fit the profile for most Capodimonte pottery, much too primitive looking.
