Hi, My piece is approximately 13 inches tall, looks very festive with green garland, bells and brown leaves. There are touches of blue in the design. The base says”Made in Italy.” And there is a what looks like a rooster drawn on the base. Might this be a Cantagalli design?
Thank you,
Ellen Wixted

My father has a piece that looks like a candy dish. It has the cockrel on the bottom but it’s turned in the opposite direction of all of the others I have seen in my research. There is also a letter beside it that looks to be an F or possibly an L. It has made in Italy under that. He’s asked me to research it and to try to find out the value. It’s been slow going, but I finally got a break quite accidentally today while looking up something else on Ebay. Any information you could share on this would be helpful. Thanks =)

Grandma’s mantle held 2 lovely green & gold lustre dragon handle vases 14 3/4″ tall. I enjoy them now. I’d like to know more about them. On the bottom painted in gold w/ beautiful delicate brush strokes is a rooster, Cantagalli, Ardait.Daliso.Lustro.#4923.Italy. These matching vases are in mint condition. Beautiful.Grandma went on buying trips to NYC yearly for a Milinary Shop and brought these home from an antique shop to her VA. Probably in the 1930′s. Wonder what the financial worth of these are. I’ll probably continue to enjoy them, so intricate the designs.

Did Cantagalli ever produce replica of Ottoman ceramics (iznik style) and had it signed at the bottom with a name written in Arabic letters (without using his own trademark) Thank you very much for any competent answer. gerhard

You can find a lot of Cantagalli pieces of varying quality on ebay. The selling price on ebay really is the current marketplace to establish values. Keep your eyes open for pieces similar to yours. Occasionally you can find a piece at a show or antique store or auction, but the main action has been on ebay. The multi-colored lustre pieces (not the all-red ones) are generally the highest priced. The art nouveau and well-painted renaissance revival pieces are also highly sought-after.

Sheila Forbes – I would very much like to see your paper on Cantagalli and the Scottish connection. Could you tell me where I can find it?
I have tried the journal but with no luck.
