surrounding a triangle and the words, HAND PAINTED IN ITALY. Wondering the history of the pieces and possible value if any? ITALY, then numbers, I think, h0-7577.But, the bottom has a chip and shows white chalking material, not terracota.
i read your advice on testing to see if this is a true piece of italian pottery and it passed the test.
I would love to find out who the artist is and see more of his/her work.
ITALY Renaissance 22/119. Also, a large vase that has B.A.M.A Acquapendente 65 on the bottomw of that one. Any ideas as to where this might orignate from?

I have been trying to find out some information on a piece of Italian pottery.
If yo have any ifo on it please let me know. Can you send me an email so I can send photo? I found a little dish at a thrift store..it looks like a candy dish and on the back its written74D-169 Italy then two Fs on top of each other. Originally I thought it was Scottish as I believed thats where it had come from, but upon researching the name on the bottom I believe it to be an Italian Deruta.
I was given this set of old Italian lighter and ashtray set and was wondering how old and if there is any value.
The sugar bowl cover has ears which are jutting out leaves.

I know it is at least 50 years old.

So happy our blog post about how to identify authentic Italian pottery was of help! I am not a dealer of art or antiques or anything like that just a curious guy with a possible antique of which Id like to find a home for it when I find out the details about it, thanks, Brett.
Hi im billy It is a deep red ceramic clay. I found some pottery that has the marks written 60/12 m. n. lo Italy and the t in Italy looks like an umbrella.
The world Italy also appears and at the bottom is the number 23. They are definitely terracotta plates, hand painted with a woman one one and a man on the other, wearing clothes from a period of a few hundred years agonthats a guess anyways.
On the bottom it says ITALY 25/A and its all in caps just like that.
I can send you photos. Found an Old vase- looks ceramic.
We have a few pieces that were handed down from our grandparents that we are wondering what they are worth/value. Yellow with green stripes. Please could you help Sometimes in the garage, and now in a china cabinet. Thanks! I have come to possess 3 pieces of pottery I believe to be of some value. Can you help me identify a squash Italy ceramic? I have a pottery lamp shapped like a sea horse in green and orangy yellow with a lantern in pottery and the same colors that hangs below it.
its white, yellow, gold, green and blue designs that look like feathers with a flower in the middle, a very rough rustic humble piece about 8 high with long handles on either side, and kind of shaped like an elongated chocolate kissee candy.
Can you tell me if it is real Italian ceramic and the approximate value. As the author of the only books written in English on the subject of Italian pottery marks and identification I offer my heartfelt gratitude for a magnificent effort in helping to promote an interest in, and appreciation of, Italian ceramics and its rich history. I have a beautiful plate that Ive come across plainly marked Grazia Deruta Italy. The name on the back is signed P Malioni.
Robin.
Cleaning out my aunts house who resently passed away I found two vases that have ROBBIA GUALDO.T.
Now youll be wondering why this detail is so important in spotting fake Italian ceramics. It is stamped NOVE on the back MADE IN ITALY is stamped and 355 as well. Before the actual hand painting, the artisan dips the terracotta deeply into a sieve containing fast drying liquid glaze.
Is this a fake?
thanks!
The lid and top of container is trimmed in gold.
Toronto Canada
I guess Ill have to go back to Italy to find one thats reasonably priced.
Can you tell me anything about this?
Any chance that it is real?
Hello years ago as a gift I recieved a plate from a friend. You will enjoy every minute of it.
Not sure if it capodimonte? What do markings mean? Thank you, I have a piece of ceramic, floral in design, red rose and blue flower with yellow center and multiple green colored leaves On a cream colored background, about 6 inches tall and 6 inches wide, footed, rough terracotta ring on bottom, signed by hand Jean, Dear Manuela; Thank you, Can someone help me identify these!http://s1196.photobucket.com/albums/aa419/Marylane15/, i have a finger held figural dragon candle holder with the dragon holding on to a dish with his feet.
Italian ceramics are always hand painted and if you look at them closely you will be able to see the single stokes that contribute to the beauty and artistry of your piece.
The pattern is a dragon on each side the spout. Thanks, I set this up for viewing at wwwamericana.com. I accidentally broke this cute-looking dish, that I paid less than five euros for, and looked on EBay to see if anyone would have it for sale.
It is signed on the bottom as follows; 366/76 (the 7 is very hard to make out and may not be a 7).
(It is very multi-colored.).
On the base underneath it says, hand made, Italy design, M.Y.E.
I recently picked up a character mug from an estate sale.
On the back its only marked with I was 13 years old in 1978 and I found it in a dump. It has 1 pepper 1 pickle 1 plum and 3 beats on it, it has brush stroke and a orange brown bottom ring. I have a dish that on the back says ITALY 94-20FF. I have what I think are grandmas dishes from Italy. I was recently given three ceramic bowls by a friend whose mother (from Toronto, Canada) left them in her estate.
F.C.P
I have this bowl thst used to have a large and small pitchers with it.
Please, let me have your email address to send you a picture of Capodimonte vase that I am looking to buy. Is this worth anything? and under that it says este.underthe v/l it says made in Italy. While cleaning out my In-laws house after they passed away, I have found many fine pieces of Italian Pottery.
Could anyone let me know anything at all about this lovely little bowl with lid I bought yesterday? This plate came from the estate of William Wooten (Wootin) who was a caretaker/groundskeeper of Franklin D. Rosevelt.
i would be happy to send a photo if you would like to see it.
on the bottom.
It appears to be rather old but somewhat primitive. height 8 1/2 inches. I would like to send a few pictures as well. I found some pottery that has the marks written 40/10 m. n. lo Italy and the t in Italy looks like an umbrella. I am not sure if it is anything worth hanging on to or selling?
It is marked on the inside of the lantern M.D.L.
