Featured Italy stamped majolica planter

hi guys

anyone know the possible maker for this planter

unsure if its antique or more mid century

the only stamped italy i can find is for a bitossi second mark, but doesnt look anything like bitossi

measures 6 1/2 by 5 1/2

any thoughts appreciated

 

Charlie. try it on the Bitossi Facebook page, they're magic fast on ids. It's MCM, but several people used impressed Italy makrs.

 

Very nice. Can't help you but it certainly looks pre war to me. (Just a gut feeling)

 

cool thanks obb, sort of glad it is mcm. havent got a facebook, but will try with somebody elses

 

it reminds me Aldo Londi or Ramini Raymor but i can't find the same model

 

yeah me either rec, but im starting to love those classic Aldo Londi turquoise blue pieces

you look for one thing and end up loving something else

 

IIRC impressed marks like that are later (1980's+) and not necessarily Bitossi but I could be off on that

 

There's some 60s stuff with the impressed marks, but I've forgotten who.

 

"...........I believe that these pieces are all impressed simply with the word "Italy" or the term 'Made In Italy" inside a cartouche, although some early examples seem to lack the cartouche. They are stamped in capital block letters and of the style illustrated here......."

Nice piece regardless.

 

Thanks rec, didn't notice it before but the centre of the flower is quite rimini blue esque , looking at other examples

 

Search raymor for bittosi you can easily find some other oker yellow vases with some similarities

 

Don't think mines in any way cool like the bitossi ones though

More old fashioned
