<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Walter Del Pellegrino, post: 583319, member: 90&quot;]These were supposed to be holders for table salt. Unfortunately they are fakes. As for age I believe that they were probably made in the last ten or twenty. They were most probably made in Croatia, perhaps Bosnia or one the other countries along Adriatic Sea. These are not majolica but simply glazed earthenware. Notice the missing glaze on the knee of the blue figure. Majolica does not separate like that. The process of making majolica requires a high firing temperature that permanently fuses the glaze to body. The items lack a county of origin. That is done on purpose. In general it appears to be of Italian origin but none of the design elements can be traced to Italy.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
