Hi Doris
Bassano is an area where pottery companies seem to congregate, like Gouda, San Marino, Vallaruis, or Westerwald. So Bassano will most likely not be the name of the maker. When looking for a ID, you should include a picture of the piece and the base. As to the price, it depends wether you bought it as a possesion or to resell.
Kind Regards Kevin Graham
