    Good morning, everyone. Am hoping someone might be able to read the mark on the bottom of this large white Italian porcelain ashtray decorated with gold roses. It is numbered 139/33. My eyes are failing! Looks to be J B (maybe inside an H). Cannot read the words above or below. Any help with id is much appreciated.

    PS. Will be back with photo of the top in a minute.

    TIA

    According to the internet, JBH is the mark of the U.S. importer Joseph B. Hirsch. Here is company information. And a Google Images search will bring up other examples of their product.
