Title: Antique Vase
Post by: Dinahlj on June 15, 2006, 08:46:40 AM

I would like to find out what a vase is worth. It has "Ardalt Uccello 4026 Italy" written on the bottom of it and on the outer layer it has birds and flowers carved out of it and then the inner layer is the actual vase. You can see it through the carvings.

Does anyone out there have any ideas or can you lead me to someone who would?

Thanks so much for your time!

Dinah

here's an example of a capodimonte item marked Ardalt Italy.  Please never confuse your pottery with Ardalt Lenwile Japan, which, while of nice quality is not even close to being the same.  There's no connection that I'm aware of.

Because I can't "see" your item, I can only guess.  But if you were to search for yourself, or seek other help, which I recommend, lean towards searching for capodimonte pottery.  There's Capodimonte and capodimonte with a small "c".  Over the years as I've helped folks search for Ardalt I've found very little.  May have been a small pottery in the Naples area.  The few items I've found have been quite lovely.  

I will continue my search, but for now, I thought you'd like a "heads-up" on your continuing searches.          KB
