<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Walter Del Pellegrino, post: 449695, member: 90&quot;]I cannot be certain where the vase was made or who made it but a clue to its age is the use of the term “Di Pinto A Mano”. The terms Made by Hand, Hand-Made, Hand-Painted, etc, are terms that emerged after the end of World War II (1945) and found mostly on European pieces intended for export to the U.S. in the 1950’s. The term was meant to accentuate individual artistry and craftsmanship and inferred that they had a quality, and therefore a value, that mass produced items lacked.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
