Italy sgraffito pottery vase

Any way to figure out the possible maker and age of this by the mark? I tried to do a bit of searching, and I can't find out anything. Probably an unknown maker, but I would truly appreciate any input. Stands 11 7/8" high. Thanks for your time.

 

I don't think I"d call this sgraffito.

 

Bev, why wouldn't you call it sgraffito? IMHO that is a good term.

 

With just a number and "Italy" as the mark, this would be nearly impossible to ID -- I'm paraphrasing Walter here! Not traditional sgraffito because I think that implies more of a pattern design while your example is more like "scored." JMHO.

 

Thank you all so much Bev, msgood2shoe and Wendy.
I appreciate all your input. I thought it might be impossible to ID, oh well, that's ok, just thought I'd give it a try. You all are so kind to help.

 

I didn't think this geometric design was considered sgraffito, but I could be wrong.

 

For what its worth,Id say 50s-60s on age. I too learned from Walter that with just numbers and 'Italy" on the bottom its pert near impossible to figure out who.

 

It's so unique. It almost looks like bamboo or something

 

Thanks Bev & Johnny, I appreciate your help & input!

 

Is this piece up for sale?

 

A private message would be more in line with this sites policies than your open inquiry , Mr. Lien !

 

With a name and avatar like that, post on Introductions & let us know what you're all about !!

 

Hi
I don't recall ever listing it for sale, so I'm sure it's around here in my storage boxes somewhere. I will try to look for it in the next couple of days. if I find it, I will send you a message.

 

I've a feeling there's a similar one in Mark Hill's Italian pottery book. If I can find it, I'll check.

 

Looks like the last time she logged in here was last December. (This thread was started a year ago!)

I believe that she is one of the boardies from the old place. Maybe she will post back here again!

 

Thanks OBB That's very nice of you. Yes, I never did list this vase, and I was able to find it last night. It was in the 1st place I looked... that never happens to me.

 

Ohhh Fig ....you are right !!!
MY BAD....for not looking at the date before running my mouth !!!

I call out others on that from time to time , but I can do just the same thing too !!!

Mea Culpa !

( just , a lot of new faces ....with few introductions......so I goofed !! )

 

It wasn't a bad thing, komokwa... just didn't think you should get your hopes up. And I don't like calling others out, myself. So sorry if it came across that way.

 

No it didn't ....not between you & me Figgy Darlin' !!!

But just the same , if I do it to others , then I'm more than willing to be told when I goof up to !!!

I mean.....I'm no better or worse than any other member here ......but now I'm upset with myself that I didn't take a second to see when goodytwoshoes posted!

Fig.....you ever see me do something like that again.....( a distinct possibility ....) ...feel free to point it out !!

 

If I do, I'll be gentle.
