Signed Moroccan or Middle Eastern Faience

These two small faience pieces were recent buys. They are both signed with an impressed signature. Does anybody recognise it? And no, it’s not CocaCola

Thanks in advance

John

 

The colours look Spanish. Talavera and Toledo used that colour scheme, maybe other towns too.

 

@Debora , can you make anything of the name?

 

Colololo is a town in Angola. Link?

Don’t know if this helps but the name similar and pottery gazette reference attached. Can’t access the page though. Just throwing it out there,(no pun intended)
Joseph Colclol.

 

Interesting. British art pottery?

 

Doesn’t really look British though, especially the first piece?
Thats all I could find given the name.

 

Oh, that's a challenge. The colors could be Spain but the shapes and motifs don't seem quite right. And have no better ideas re name. Appears to start with "C" and then a combination of "l"s and vowels.

Following up on your leads (thank you) I am leaning towards Toledo area of Spain although nothing definite yet.

 

Solved it. Constantine Colibaba

 

Constantin Colibaba started in the late 19th century and the pottery is now in the 5th generation.

 

Too funny! When I saw the name ended in "a" my thoughts went to Romania (having a Romance language and all) but could find nothing similar on the internet. Well done!
