A Naples (Real Fabbrica Ferdinandea) tin-glazed coffee cup, c.1783-88, well painted in the manner of the Servizio delle Vestiture del Regno, depicting a woman and a young girl carrying a tray of fish and standing on a harbour wall, within a narrow gilt border between simple gilt floral sprigs, titled in red to the inside rim with 'Donna della Marina di Chiaja', partial crowned or crested mark in red to the base, 5.8cm.

The title inside the rim is incorrect as the decoration actually depicts Donna della Marina di Pozzuoli. The scenes on the Servizio delle Vestiture were largely based on gouaches by Saverio Della Gatta and Alessandro D'Anna, who were hired by Venuto to travel Italy and make a record of the various regional costumes. Other examples are illustrated by Angela Carola-Perrotti, La Porcellana della Real Fabbrica Ferdinandea, pp.381.
