Guido Gambone (Italy)

Rectangular abstract dish.

Was this a find? I'll keep my eyes peeled for a little donkey with balloon ears. His glazes are quite distinctive, fuzzy like.

Today's pick-up. Sadly damaged, but so cheap I couldn't leave it! 12 in high.

Sorted DD. Pity bout the dam. Bet you woz banging when you saw that little donk! You can retire on this ennit?      

So watch out for I.C.S. M.A.C.S  C.A.S and VIETRI also - all with that funny bubbleing glaze and on a pink earthenware. BE WARNED MANY FAKES

Like this one?

DD I would rally like to know why you are against asking Walter DLP about your items. He is an obvious expert who's opinion is widely respected and valued by the wider community. He's on ebay forum he's written books on this period, he has his own website.

The best find I ever made was was a Guido Gambone cat dish I bought in a charity shops in Sevenoaks. £1.50 it was, and I bought against my wife's wishes...she is not a cat lover! But the illustration was soo nice, I just liked it. Stayed in the car for a couple of days until I got it out, and started doing some research on the donkey mark. 10 minutes later I was Wow! Sold on Ebay to Sicilian gallery for a nice little sum.... Mind you, this was many years ago.

The only other(s) I ever found were the two dishes at the top.
Sold the more damaged one of the two and kept the other.

Just to update, A lovely lady who is in the local centre, is also an expert restorer.
I've never bothered getting ceramics restored, as it never ever adds to the the value,
but as there was nothing actually "missing" in this case, and as I got it for nothing,
I thought it was worth it. £60, you can't tell, and its been on my sideboard ever since.

Worth it IMO you'll get it back if you sell it
