Bitossi (Italy)

I'm admin on there. If you let me know who you are, I'll let you in if you apply again.

Thank you - is this piece of any interest to the group? I do so love Italian pottery but can't really afford any!! I would love to join and learn - and would love to share this horse. Not sure how to identify myself on facebook! barbara.conner.75 may work.

We'll look out for a Facebook name that looks a bit like that then! Just request to join again.

Thank you! Poked through just a bit and loving it!! Now I'll be up ALL night!!!

Alex / Naomi,

I have loved looking around on the facebook page (and still looking) !!!! Thank you so much!

Alex, Thank you for leaving me that tiny bit of hope by saying 'I'm fairly sure'!

Can anyone help me ID the maker of these great pieces? After a couple hours of internet research, the closest thing I have found was one piece that was similar, claiming to be Bitossi, but nothing else. They are cobalt blue with some black unglazed areas, and have multicolored glazings applied in a geometric pattern. the base appears to be terra cotta. I have a pair of candlesticks marked Italy 897, a biscuit jar marked Italy 850, and a vase marked either Italy 892 or 899, in black. Any thoughts? Sorry some of these came in oriented wrong, they turned after I inserted them and I don't know how to fix it! Thanks!

Might be Fratelli Fancuillacci

FF usually has a 4-digit number. These could be Bitossi - I'm sure I've had a Bitossi vase in the same form as the one in the photo.

Thanks Alex and Naomi. Alex it is interesting you would say that about the form...I have seen several Bitossi candlesticks in varying colors that match this form as well.

After another look, I'm pretty confident this is Bitossi.

Does seem to be Bitossi, if it's the same design as this one from their catalogue -

Has anyone seen this model?

Certainly looks right for Bitossi but I couldn't say if it was an Aldo Londi design. Do you have a base photo?

Thanks for responding. Here it is.

Hi
Stunning bowl but I do not know who made it?
Please help.

Thanks

Hello
Does anyone know this pottery?
Any help appropriated.
Thanks
Peter

I’m thinking FF but could be someone else.

10” Bitossi horse

Hi

Would this fall under the 'Spanish' Sagnolo range perhaps? May have to launch the photographs to get full image, sorry.

Cheers

Yes, I think so. The colours seem to be a mix of Rhimini blue and chartreuse yellow

Hi

I am tring to decide if these are the initials of the maker.    It looks like

"RRR/15"
"NJ"

assuming the 15 is the heignt... any one have any ideas what the rest means  ?

Sorry, but I cant seem to flip the picture through 90 degrees...

All thoughts glady accepted!

thanks

The piece is signed Italy and with code numbers which apply to the retailers or wholesalers they were supplied to, rather than maker's initials. Bitossi lost a large part of it's archive 20-30 years ago, so what most of the numbers refer to are unknown. However the sequence can be used to give a rough date - probably made in the 60s.
