I list some very high quality Antique items. All items were picked up from Various Estates in Maryland near the bay area & Pennsylvania near the Lancaster area. Be sure to check out my other listings through out the week. Up for auction is one of the most beautiful Italian pottery bowls. A gorgeous tall footed bowl in compote style form. Made in the middle of the 20th Century. During the Modernist era. It was made at the amazing Guido Bitossi factory in Florence, Italy. A very RARE piece in form & design. A gorgeous white milky glazed body with a yellow/mustard glazed foot & rim. The bowl is a large wide & deep form with a hollow pedestal ribbed foot. It has been gorgeously hand painted with Two large Picassoesque style bulls or bison/buffalo in the center on one side. Almost as if there going to fight using there large horns. They each have what look like 4 petal flowers on them. Then there are 3 smaller female cow on the opposite side each standing and there are also green leaves around them all. It is an exquisite piece. This design is RARELY seen. I could right now not find another online anywhere for an example of its value. It is signed on the bottom with the typical Bitossi mark. "#446-B" & "Italy". All hand written. Matching other hand written Bitossi marks online. I loev the piece. If I could I would keep it. It measures approx. 6-1/5" wide by 5" tall. Being sold without reserve & a $9.99 start. Have fun biddin g. Condition: This item is in Excellent condition. It has one very minor glaze flake about 1/8" wide on the rim. And around the outside edge you can feel very tight line about 1/2" long. Just above the left bulls back. It is at the surface only and doen't look like a crack but a pottery mold or shaping flaw. Other than that what was mentioned no crazing, other chips or cracks.
