Description
I have a pair of Sgraffito vases that stand 8" high, very colorfully painted pottery with a gazelle as the center focal point. They are marked 'Italy' on the bottom and I have been told that based on the shape, designs and colors that the vases were created in the town of Montopoli, near Pisa. The town, officially named Montopoli Val d'Arno, has been known for this style of sgraffito for generations. Based upon the markings on the base and, in particular, the style of the letters and numbers, the vases were produced sometime between 1930 and 1950. I would like to know a value of these vases.
