Re: Potential Fantoni fakes from the Far East (renamed thread)

[big ed]

Here are several more that bear the Fantoni name and logo in the same manner as yours. All are in a style made famous by the artists of San Marino. These are not, in fact, by Marcello Fantoni

The next link shows more than 100 examples of true Fantoni works. None are in the San Marino style.

This is a correct mark for Fantoni


The number of fakes out there is astronomical. Again, I don't want to be controversial and certainly I am not expert on the ceramics of Fantoni. I have only owned two or three examples of his work over the years. This is simply my opinion, based on what I have seen of his work and his marks through time.

I have just received my Millers guide 2010 on page 75 is a vase valued at £300-500 and by Fantoni , only problem is if you click on the link by walter it's almost identical to the red vase on the right of picture which is san marino and a huge difference oops

There seems to be a large scratch over the painted mark, maybe someone else thought it was a fake? Or perhaps they tried to make it look as though their was some age to it?
