Hello all. In view of the recent "Fantoni fakes discussion" somewhere on this forum, I thought I might place these photos for you all to consider. Is this piece (approx. 8 cms high) by Marcello Fantoni? I'm not an expert but the signature reads Fantoni to me, although the glaze has made it slightly runny. I know this doesn't look like the usual Fantoni stuff, but to me this piece is of high quality anyway. So, what do you think? I paid 20 cents for this so be nice!  Fanotina? Fantoni?

Ah well, never mind. Thank you all. It can't always hit the jackpot. Anyway, I still like to know who made the piece. Any suggestions, as it isn't Fantoni?

Lucio Fontana? Of the concetto's? That would be even better, forget Fantoni. Paintings by Fontana can bring in half a million easily. Fanotina? Fantoni? Mystery beaker signed  212118
