Genuine Fantoni Dish?

I recently purchased this dish at a thrift store and was hoping some one who is familiar with this pottery can tell me if it is real and share any history about it.
It's a fantastic piece - it's been painted on the bottom and has different glazes. If this is indeed authentic - how much do you think a collector would pay for it?
Thanks.

I don't see why it shouldn't be genuine. If you google images "MARCELLO FANTONI FIRENZE BOWL" you'll see one with an almost identical signature.

As for value, a Marcello Fantoni vase with a similar image recently sold on ebay for £80. This, however, is a dish and the image is against a less commercial brown background so probably in the region of £30-£60.

Saying that, a pin dish with a lady decoration, only went for £6.

and i bought that

Thanks Rita.....really helpful. Luckily i was really only buying it as a piece of Italian/San Marino not Fantoni......and it was less than £6 with postage...but it will give me food for thought ..thanks again as usual...found any Alelluia you want to get rid of

Well, I think it's the one at the top of the page. No?

Hi Rita - I'm fairly sure it is a genuine Fantoni piece. I saw a piece with a fake mark in a shop yesterday. The mark stuck out like a sore thumb...

Hi, that's great!
I was not suggesting it was fake, I only thought it would be helpful to read that thread about the fakes, to be aware.

I like it. I have a similar one by Fabbrini

I also like it.
Maybe you could post some pictures of your Fabbrini, I would like to see it

Well... very broadly similar anyway

Very nice design.
Can we see the signature, please.

Boootiful

Found this on the net

Federigo Fabbrini (1928 - 2007) was a highly regarded
Mid Century Italian potter. Fabbrini trained at the Fantoni Studio,
and in the 1990s worked with Gambone.

This is a google translation from italian lingo

Fabbrini Frederick was born in Arezzo in 1928.
After studying architecture, suspended before graduation, he experiences at several ceramic factories in Sesto Fiorentino, Montelupo and at the Laboratory of Marcello Fantoni in Florence.
In 1958 he opened a workshop on their own, called "Pottery Fabbrini," being Castelbonsi 10 in San Casciano, near Florence, with his wife Tina Aginari, and invites him to work with Nanni Valentini and Franco Bucci.
From 1969 to 1973 worked as a designer with the factory "Villeroy & Boch", for which he created, among other things, furnishing the table "Bomb", now preserved at the Museum of Modern Art in New York, sharing 'experience with Franco Bucci.
From 1973 onwards back to work in his laboratory in San Casciano, where he produced a small series of ceramics, often inspired by the magical world of fairy tales, and use of ceramics and furniture, forged on the wheel, stoneware clay for tender.
In 1993 Frederick Fabbrini closes its activities but continues to deal with working with ceramics and Brunella Bruno Gambone Sciulli.
During his career he has exhibited several times at exhibitions in Faenza, Gubbio and Ostend and Eighties his works are exhibited in the "Laboratorio Pesaro" by Franco Bucci in Pesaro Road 145 to Romagna.
Federico Fabbrini died in Florence in 2007.

Stylistically it makes sense.
It's the same kind of design, you can see it was influenced by Fantoni.
We should have a Fabbrini thread.

We can have a Fabbrini thread if you have pics to put in , would be good .

We can start with goyjus dish and your research from google.
It's a good start.

Ok Rita ,Done it
