Questions About Blue Italian Pottery
  • 1stDibs ExpertMarch 22, 2022
    To tell if a ceramic piece is Italian pottery, turn it over. Genuine Italian pottery normally has a rough unglazed area. Many pieces bear the mark of the artist or workshop who produced it. Shop a selection of expertly vetted Italian pottery on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    Blue pottery can be called a number of things depending on its origins. Pieces produced in the Netherlands are known as Deftware, while blue earthenware from Wedgwood is Jasperware. Pottery from Jaipur, India, is also referred to as blue pottery. On 1stDibs, shop a large selection of pottery.
  • 1stDibs ExpertAugust 29, 2024
    To tell an antique Italian pottery apart from other pieces, do some research using trusted online resources. First, identify the maker by looking for marks on the bottom or interior. Once you know who produced your pottery, you can then explore the styles and types of pieces they produced over the years and use this information to estimate your piece's age. For pottery to be antique, it must be at least 100 years old. If you'd like assistance with the dating process, talk to a certified appraiser or knowledgeable antique dealer. Shop a collection of antique Italian pottery on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    What is most unique about ancient Italian pottery is its finish. Many pieces featured a tin glaze that is highly resistant to chipping and fading. The technique dates back to 9th-century Mesopotamia. You'll find a large selection of Italian pottery on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 17, 2023
    To identify Italian pottery marks, you can try checking trusted online resources and databases. Search for a description of the mark or browse images to look for ones that match. Because it can be difficult to determine the authenticity of pottery, you may wish to seek the help of a certified appraiser who is knowledgeable about Italian makers. With respect to Italian porcelain, major manufacturers include Richard Ginori and Capodimonte (the latter was founded by King Charles VII of Naples). Beginning in the mid-18th century, porcelain made by King Charles VII’s factory was stamped with a fleur-de-lis, usually in underglaze blue. Pieces from Ferdinand’s were stamped with a Neapolitan N topped by a crown. When secondary manufacturers began production, they retained this mark, in multiple variations. Find a collection of Italian pottery on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertOctober 15, 2024
    To tell if Italian pottery is real, first look at its markings and use trusted online resources to identify the possible maker. From there, research the defining characteristics of pottery made by that particular artisan, workshop or manufacturer and use those as a guide to evaluate your piece. You can also use the services of a certified appraiser or knowledgeable antiques dealer to receive professional authentication. Explore a diverse assortment of Italian pottery on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertSeptember 23, 2024
    Japanese blue pottery is called sometsuke. When translated literally from Japanese, the word means "with dye." It refers to the fact that sometsuke pottery gets its beautiful color from applying a cobalt dye underglaze on white bisque ceramic. Find a wide variety of Japanese pottery from some of the world's top sellers on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    How old blue and white pottery is depends on its type. Asian blue and white pottery may date back all the way to the 14th century or be much newer. Delftware pottery came into production during the 16th century. Shop a large selection of blue and white pottery on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertNovember 2, 2021
    Blue and white china is also referred to as blue and white pottery or blue and white porcelain. Chinese export porcelain has long been a part of trade between East Asia and the West, and it is rooted in the days of the Silk Road. Blue patterns are painted over the white pottery, and the porcelain is decorated under a glaze with cobalt oxide, which gives it a blue color. Find a collection of antique and vintage blue and white pottery on 1stDibs today.
  • 1stDibs ExpertNovember 26, 2024
    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.
