Thanks a lot to you who have replied! I guess I should have someone look at this in person before I try to sell  it (because its possible it is missing a top)... Its not the exact same as the pictures you have posted; and my grandfather never mentioned a top, but it is possible I am missing one  I really don't know to be honest.... But the fact you have posted similar products which have tops leaves me in doubt... And I don't want to go to an auction or post on ebay with an untruthful ad.

Anyone here from Atlanta? I will be happy to pay you to look at it for me (as well as a few other antiques I have).

Thanks again.

If no one here knows much about it here, does anyone know of any capodimonte websites where I can find some more info about this piece? thanks.

Very interesting piece you have there.  Any background...as to the age of it?

Oops, wow I was tired when I made that and just now noticed all of my spelling mistakes haha. Anyways, unfortutunately, I do not know very much about it.... My dad said he believes my grandfather picked it up in Italy in the 1960's... But not sure if it was bought new, or used at that point. Would there be anything special I should try taking pictures of that you would like to see in more detail, that may help to date it? Thanks.
