the big B, Swiss?

I am hoping this lidded jar is what I think it is?

just picked it up near Zurich

the B could be just a 3 ;-(

about 20 cm wide and 17 cm high

What do you think it is?

I have a book, which has marks of a number of current Swiss potters and images of their work.

Nothing matches but it does look as if you found it not too far from where it was made.

I am just learning about ceramics but I never thought for a moment it was Swiss-made, almost everything I saw for sale was basically from (W) Germany or Italy, + French items in the far west of CH.

my hope was that it is an early piece from Bitossi and that might just be a "pipe dream"

thank you for the comments nonetheless

Back in the 1990s I would sell things like Bitossi but always left that stuff even when it was 1 GBP or less. I wasn't the only dealer, who did that. To me it was cheap, garish tat copying much better made work and copying it badly. My view hasn't changed.

but how do you really feel about Bitossi designs?

Numb?
