Bitossi ?

Anybody else think this is Bitossi , impressed design ( fish on one side and geometric on t'other ) 3.5" High no base marks

not sure about that Ed - what is the rim at the top like please? is it smooth and finished neatly? The pieces I have had (and still own a couple) look less rustic than this. Even a lamp base I had was a bit more refined somehow. But that could just be looking at photographs which tend to highlight and don't always show the detail that well. Having said all that I do think it is quite difficult to absolutely determine Bitossi pieces.

I too had my doubts for the same reason as flying free, but did not reply as Italian pottery is not something i know much about. If it is Bitossi, it seems to be of poorer quality than the others I've seen to be honest.

I agree , it doesnt come up to the standard of the pieces I have posted in that thread , the inside is quite well done , the outer is a bit like the grog style of german carstens pieces .

The colour looks right for Bitossi, and the grogged filled clay. Plus some Bitossi pieces have this sort of sgraffito decoration. So I'd say Bitossi.

those look more like atomic bombs than fish
