How do you identify vintage Italian pottery marks?
1 Answer
To identify vintage Italian pottery marks, you can research them yourself using trusted online resources or consult a certified appraiser or experienced antique dealer. One way to begin researching pottery marks on your piece is to take a photograph and then perform a reverse image search. If your search yields no results, type a description into a search engine or review image reference guides devoted to Italian pottery. Once you have identified the maker, learn more about the various markings it has used over the years and use this information to get a rough idea of the age of your piece. To be considered vintage, pottery must be between 20 and 99 years old. On 1stDibs, explore a wide range of vintage Italian pottery.

Antique Huge Italian Olive Oil Jar or Amphora Great Color Italian Late 1800's
Located in Highwood, IL
Not all antique Italian glazed Olive Oil Jars or Vases are created equal and this particular Olive Oil jar’s colors are simply beyond spectacular.

Most people refer to these as amphora jars, beginning in the Neolithic Period and running from approximately 9000BC to 3500BC.
