Hi all
Can anyone help with this? Nice 1960s lidded box with bird finial, the style of the signature looks a bit Italian to me but could easily be British. Or something else entirely!

Ive got a book with the same signature as Derval, tho this is an ongoing debate, ther is no doubt that it is him only if he did it while working at le murier

I just found this which is almost the same with a fish instead of a bird

Thank you all so much for identifying this! I knew it was a nice and good thing but no idea - almost ashamed to say I have Picasso and Capron ceramics in my collection but didn't know about Derval.

Why don't you show as a bit of your collection? I sure everybody would love to see it. Happy

Perfect trio! Excellent
Is the Picasso D. Quixote jug an old one or part of a new edition by Madoura?
