Bertoncello (Italy)

Shamefully I have to admit to knowing very little about Bertoncello at the moment other than they're Italian and they made some wickedly shaped pots during the 1960s. Here's one - more to come ....

well it looks like they are marked with a marker pencil but one says 48 and the other says something with 3 figures i don't know the precise numbers because its in our shop and i am at home now

Do you have a Bertoncello catalogue Ed?

Hi Pip, no catalogue , I thought that question would come up , I have the same piece with number on the base ,, I have about twenty odd pieces and some have round base , some square base , and most with the raised feet , ED

One on the left is marked 095 on the base , one the right is about 1" taller at 11"

label says CERAMICHE D' ARTE

This is a slightly more unusual bertoncello vase ,31cms high sort of gunmetal colour going into green with tube lined orange glaze,marked on base 1/A and a moulded signature that I have only seen twice before but not as clear as this one Ed

Very unusual - absolutely superb! What's the 'signature' that you mention?
