I see , but that don't make it bitossi , what is your opinoin Dan , Stig or Aldo , I'm with stig , they would have only had a paper label for stig lindberg and possibly a faint ink stamp for gustavberg

the size has always made me think it isn't a Stig piece,I reserve my judgement until I research the Bitossi horses

having looked at several Bitossi horses I find it difficult to imagine they were able to come up with glaze as good as the one on big horse.
I have always been impressed with Gustavsberg glaze.....
