majolica

hi there,

whats your opinion on these majolica bowl? who made it and when?

Spanish, maybe? Might be a Gibraltar monkey

Thanks NaomiM,
with this botto, I'm assuming it is not an old piece?

It doesn’t seem to have much age. Maybe sometime within the latter half of 20thC

It isn't a Gibralter monkey. They're Barbary macaques, also know as Barbary apes, and are tail-less, unlike the little chap on the plate.
A bit of random trivia: every few years a new batch of macaques are captured in the Atlas Mountains of Algeria and Morocco and released in Gibralter in order to maintain variation in the gene pool, because on a small island there's no other way to introduce fresh genes into the breeding population, so inbreeding will very quickly become a problem. Just look at the Isle of Man for confirmation of that
