This is my rummage market find from today. Hand thrown ( I can feel the ribbles inside of the vase) and painted. Signed on the bottom, but I'll be jiggered if I can figure out just what it says. The design is the same on both sides. I am thinking this is either a German or a Belgian piece. I really like it.
The circumference is 11 1/2".
Height: 4 3/4"
Width at the top: 4 1/2"x 3 3/4"
Perfect condition.
Ceramics are not my strong suit, so.....
Italian is a possibility.
I agree with Vetraio.
The clay, finish, colour...and the numbering system led me there.
vetraio50 & racer4four - thanks for the input. OK, now tell me what you know....!! The Italian numbering system for ceramics is something I know nothing about.
Beautiful!
What a lovely vase, Bonnie. I think Alan knows something about the numbering system, he mentions it on some of his Italian vases. Maybe he can share? :)
Indrozdenko & kat - thanks! I hope Alan can enlighten me on those numbers.
