    Hi Everyone,

    Can anyone attribute these to a maker? The maker's signage is in the last photo.

    TIA

    I can't help with maker but I don't believe these were meant to be flower frogs. They appear to be made to be lamps. The holes at the top & the bottom are where the lamp parts would be fed through. The small hole on the back side of the base is where the electric cord would go. :happy:

    Try the Italian company of Agostinelli & Dal Prà. This is from the book Italian Pottery Marks by the Del Pellegrinos.

    I also noticed the holes for a lamp, but thinking these were added later. Thanks for your feedback.

    Do those perforated domed pieces on the top lift off?

    Thank you. I was curious because they look so much like they would lift right off.
