Cobalt bowl
February 25, 2021 8:46 AM Subscribe
Can you help me to find some info about this beautiful ceramic cobalt bowl?
It is marked 'Fine cobalt' and 'Made in Italy'. I'm not sure if this is just a big bowl or a washbasin? Google search found many items with similar imagery - male and female pheasant surrounded by pink and blue flowers (peonies? wisteria?). Does anybody has more info about symbolism of this picture and why is it repeated on many similar objects?

Best answer: It looks like there is an italian maker Capodimonte that is at least associated with the LCS makers mark and crown. I haven't really dug too deep into it, but that might help your search. I'd also swap out 'ceramic' with 'porcelain' in this case.

Best answer: You may want to send your pictures to Replacements, they have a service where they identify china patterns and may be able to give you some more information on it.

Best answer: You could ask in Italian Pottery Marks, a forum "Dedicated to Italian Pottery & Porcelain from the 18th through the 21st Century".
