Ok, I will take your word for it that it was a wedding gift in 1935 because I just cant invision your mother going out and finding a duplicate. There was tons of items shipped to the USA from all over the world for eons. Does that make them valuable? NO. Your pitcher is very pretty but because it’s not signed or no factory marks it is just an item that might be collectable to someone at about $20.00-30.00. Even if it was signed and had a factory mark does not make it worth more in today’s market. Italy is still producing items like yours to this day. Just keep it as keepsake to remember your mother by and enjoy.

So now that it has been established that this is from 1935-not the 1960’s and that is is not Deruta, can anyone tell me what it is?

This is not a replacement to an original either. My Mom would never buy this. It was a gift.

OK. What no one seems to get is this is not a replacement. It WAS the original that she got for a wedding present in 1935. It does not bother me that it is not a Deruta. So, then basically no one can tell me what it is. It was not made in 1965 as was stated by the gentleman on the other site as, as I have said many times, it was received in 1935. Thanks anyway for what I am not sure.

Perhaps the original item was broken and this is it’s replacement.
Walter Del Pellegrino, author of several books on Italian pottery and expert at http://italianpotterymarks.freeforums.org/ where you posted has taken time and trouble to answer your question very politely and very thoroughly.
I had already told you it is not Deruta, giving an example of their mark, yet you persist in this in your posting there.
I agree with Walter’s anaysis which is as follows.
“Are you certain that this was given to your family in 1935?
The mark is that of the Egisto Fantechi pottery in Florence. The company was in existence from 1895 to 1961. Below you will find a link to an article I have written concerning this very important company. The primary design of this piece is called “Cartocchio”. It is Gothic Floral design that was popular around 1450. It consists of scrolled leafs and flower petals surrounded by fine vines and scrollwork.
I am sorry to disagree with your family’s story but this item was not made in the 1930’s but rather much later and in my opinion it is a fairly recent recent piece perhaps dating to the 1970’s or later. The glazes are too vibrant for early 20th century glaze and the overall design is far too loose and too relaxed for the period suggested. I suspect that this an Asian fake. Another clue is the appearance of the numerals on the base. They are not written in a manner that would have been consistent with the manner in which Italians of the period would have written them. I imagine that the pitcher is relatively light (another sign of Asian fakes) rather than the ten or twelve pounds it would weigh if made with native Italian clay. The mark of Egisto Fantechi is a popular logo that has been faked for decades.

I went to International Pottery as was suggested. There I was told that they doubted my family info and that it was a fake that was produced on the 1960’s. I told them thank you for the info,but, they were wrong about the date. My Mom and Dad were married on June 20, 1935 and this was one of their wedding presents.

There is a very yellowed and fragile note that says things that they got for wedding presents and this is on the list. And, my Mom..rest her soul..told me all the things that they got for wedding presents because I inherited all of them.

So, please know that I totally appreciate anything that anyone can tell me as I am clueless when it comes to this type of stuff. Thanks.:(
