Title: confused on this one
Post by: rink28 on October 26, 2015, 12:58:11 PM

hello guys, went to an auction this week and came across this vase that caught my eye. the vase measures 13 in tall and hand painted with flowers on it. its in really nice condition with no damage on it. as i went home to examine it more i saw there was a signature on the side of the vase that read "s.giusti" was wondering who this person is. does anyone might have an idea who this could be? also i was wondering what era this vase could be from. then on the bottom in green letters it says "Ginori D" as shown in the pics and a number in red that says 117 and another that says 0194 in the vase. also on the bottom it has the crown symbol and says " decor hand painted italy firenze ware pure roman gold guaranteed" what is pure roman gold? never really heard of roman gold before.  i just havent been able to find any information on this piece and figured you guys might have an idea. any help would be appreciated. thanks!

Very nice Rink28.

Actually, Mart, I like the etagere at the top of the page the best, however out of fashion it may be. It's a beauty! :))

Your style is it Ghopper ??  Who would have guessed !!  :D

Rink28,, those blanks were decorated by mostly unknown artists !!  Have you tried an internet search yet ??  Maybe they went on to work for other companies !!

Oh ok thanks mart!  I did try searching for that name and came up with no information. I didn't realize different artist hand painted these until I read the link.

Read the History of Pottery and Porcelain. Then go to the bottom for the directory of Italian ceramic artists !!  May be related to some of the artists on the page !!
