Multicolour fish dish

One more fishy piece: fish-shaped dish, 30 cm long, mottled black and dark blue glaze, with multicolour pattern.
Base unmarked.

Once more from Italy?

Thanks!
Michael

Yes, I would have thought San Marino.

Cant agree , different decor to San Marino pieces , not sure it's italian .

Thanks!
If not San Marino -- is it Italian at all?
Or would Hungary be another option? (I own several pieces which I would have attributed to Italy without much doubt, if they didn't have a label in Hungarian :))

Michael

If no mark at all , it's difficult with these pieces , suffice to say italian tourist ware is generally just signed Italy , so could be anywhere really ,,Italy is just popular with a lot of folks these days in suggesting .

If not Italian then maybe Norway?

Why Norway ?

Because it's a fish

Or Japanese because of the colour scheme.

Or Spanish, because, well just because.

Ok, I'm back to saying Italy - after spotting this one on ebay, listed as: Lovely Stylish Vintage Retro Kitsch Small Slipware Vase 1950s Italy ?
(I know it's not been positively identified either, but it's got that look to it).

..."The bottom is marked 'M 520' "

...someone will probably now tell me it's W. German.

Naomi...has the dish gone

I don't think the vase on ebay is anything like this dish?

Not sure where this dish is from, but I would guess Italy.

Tho bits about it don't seem "right" as such to me.

But I doubt it's from Norway or Japan

Thanks all!
The vase on ebay has some similarities, but mine has the glossy black and blue glaze all over...

Here is a pic of a dish made in Hungary, just to add to the confusion ;-)

Thanks Naomi (but I guess you really shouldn't have done that ;-))

Decoration does look very similar, I just wanted to point out that my fish has a glossy glaze all over, not a matte black background like the ebay vase...
Unfortunately even if it is the same maker, it doesn't help much in attribution...

Michael

could almost be a Capron

Almost

the colour is right you would expect matt glaze but there are exceptions the shape isnt in the book ...............
