Large Italian Pottery charger plate - maker?

This piece is signed on the back, but the only thing I am sure of is the word Italy. I think it is 202 of 558 & the initials are possibly M.C.

Does anyone have Walter's book?

It is 17 3/4" across. I know it is probably not really that old, but it is nicely done & would be in great shape if some Bozo hadn't used one of those metal plate hangers.



Thanks for any & all advice or opinions!!!

I do have two of Walter's books, the one on Faenza and Marks from Cantagallli to Fornasetti.

For what it's worth your mark looks like F02/0558 to me. In the books I don't see anything using the initials M.C. There are three using M.G. but none really look like yours but here they are.

Did you check his website?

 

Thanks SIS!!

I did check the website & did not see anything.

I will try posting it to their forum to see if Walter can help & will update this thread if I find out anything.

He does stop in here from time to time so maybe flag him

I have seen Walter replying to a couple of other threads, so I thought I would give this one another try.

I have no idea who the maker is. The design isn't of Italian origin so I must assume that the plate was created under contract with a firm that owned the design rights.

 

Hi Walter,
Thank you for saying that design is not Italian. It is a common design from Pennsylvania. Ring necked pheasents and pumpkins typical PA design
