<p>[QUOTE="KikoBlueEyes, post: 4624774, member: 8363"]There is not much Majolica style pottery around here to ask questions about. Major pieces come into the shop I go to, but they are always noticeably damaged. This modest 5 inch tall candle stick with lemons and unknown fruit in a white basket follows a formula of modern majolica style. I couldn't find an example of a similar candlestick though. The bottom is unglazed and there is something that looks like a mark.</p><p><br /></p><p>Is this Chinese? How do you tell whether something is Chinese or Italian? I can't tell if it is tin glazed. How do you know this? Is the size of the hole important? Any comments appreciated.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]412086[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]412087[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]412088[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]412089[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]412090[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]412091[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]412092[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]412093[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]412094[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]412095[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
