<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Walter Del Pellegrino, post: 169267, member: 90&quot;]In the very first sentence of my first post I noted that: &#039;By the manner of the marking, an Impressed &quot;Italy&quot; inside a lozenge shaped cartouche, I would say that this is <b><i><u>probably</u></i></b> an unmarked Bitossi piece. It has the detail and quality that defines this Montelupo Fiorentini based company.&quot;&nbsp; I did not choose the word &quot;probably&quot; arbitrarily. Over the years I have been fooled enough times by fakes and reproductions to fill at least one or two shelves in any display case. As a matter of fact I have saved most of my mis-attributed pieces for personal study and comparison. They serve both as tools for learning and as humbling reminders of my own vulnerability.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
