Description
Hi , I recently acquired this antique Italian pottery. It is smaller with a rounder shape . Very intricate and pretty piece and you can see the hand painted brushstrokes & details put in. It's blue with a few different colors in it. It is missing a handle but the other appears to look almost leopard . There are no artist signature just a marking on the bottom that says Italy 1482 hand painted on it. Bottom is glazed but outer circle is not glazed. Any details or info on what this is would be a big help! I can't seem to find anything to help determine exactly what it is

Re: Antique Italian pottery
It's 20th century Italian Majolica, a type of tin glazed earthenware made all over Italy for the Tourist/Export market. Pottery in htis style is still in production and sold online. As it's broken its value is now purely decorative.
