Title: Gold Gilded Dish Blue and tan - Italy
Post by: maa1247 on March 30, 2017, 01:25:32 PM

Estate Find: Beautiful 6 1/2" x 1" dish - blue and tan/white - lots of gold gilding.  On the back of the dish it has the markings "JA or JH" 1327/17 - Italy.  Does anyone know anything about this dish?  Thank you

Maa,
Looking at it in person, do the indents remind you of handles, pouring spouts, or rest for cigars or cigarettes?

The indents could be handles or resting place for spoons.  Don't think it would be ashtray because of the heavy gold gilding.  Thank you

I'm still puzzeled by this piece.  Any other ideas as to the brand, year, etc.  Thanks

Reminds me of a variation of a oil dipping bowl...

I personally believe that is SA and not JA.

I have found several pieces marked with SA - all different - none look like the above.  So, from what I am understanding it is for items made in Salerno Province?!

Thank you - I'll keep looking - SA is probably correct - thanks again.
