If you have any idea what kind of pottery this might be it would be of great help!

Most of my finds have been American stoneware, pottery. I have recently begun work on an estate that has many Quimper, faience and Italian pieces. Most of my research on the Italian pieces leads me to new retail items. One piece in particular has a redware inside color, a blue wash on the outside, and a shiny Majolica like scene of a partridge in a pear tree and a pear on the other side. It is numbered, signed and marked Italy, along with a hallmark that has a moonshaped C with an R or P on its lower tail. It's not as ornate as most Italian pieces...very simple and elegant look. Any ideas? Thanks again. Thanks for a very informative article. Most of my finds have been American stoneware, pottery.

I have a piece of pottery -not sure which definition it falls under- it's a vase above 14" tall, it was my grandparents, I think it's from the 50's. It has a signature on the bottom that I can't make out and was wondering if you recognize it. It looks like M with A in the middle (or A with M in the middle) under that it is ITALY the signature is pretty large about 1 1/2" x 1 1/2". Does this sound familiar - I can send a picture if that would help. Can you refer me to someone else who might recognize this signature? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I am currentky trying to buy a piece on e-bay but I think she is asking way too much..I would have a better idea if I know more about the marks on the back..a rooster and impressed cantagali, firenze {Italy} is what it says... . You seem so knowledgeable..I hope you can help me become more savy!

This article is a brave attempt to clarify a rather complex subject and it did so beautifully. It is a wonderful introduction into the world of clay and glazes. But it was Tiziana's last paragraph that contains the real value. Those words were written, as only a true collector of Italian ceramics could have crafted them-with passion. Hopefully, in time, others will join in the joy that comes from owning examples of magnificent handcrafted Italian pottery that are created by artisans who respect the traditions of the past while being able to incorporate the very best of the contemporary and the modern.
