Story
Post-war Italy transformed into a global hub for ceramic artistry as small family workshops began exporting high-fashion decorative wares to American luxury department stores.
Maker / Origin
While many of these pieces bear only a simple 'Italy' stamp, they were produced by prestigious workshops such as Fratelli Fanciullacci or Bitossi.
Condition & Value
The bowl appears to be in excellent vintage condition with no visible chips to the delicate raised scrollwork or the scalloped rim. Value is driven by the popularity of Mid-Century Modern Italian ceramics and the excellent preservation of the gold leaf.
