[QUOTE="15Stiftgasse, post: 9541551, member: 12382"]I've just agreed to purchase a majolica apothecary jar, which I believe may be Italian. The seller had advertised it as 'vintage' , possibly because the base bears the written date(?) '1984'. However, despite my very limited knowledge of such items, I have the suspicion that it is possibly genuinely old and what is inscribed on the base is merely a 'red herring' so to speak. As the price was fairly low, I thought that it was a fairly safe bet. Anyway - I'd be grateful to hear what you guys think about this piece. Thanks in advance for any assistance !
