albisola

not being a speaker of the language, i can't tell if the potter is named on this piece? can someone enlighten me about it? looks 1930s to me - a bit like Poole in style but obviously from Albisola / Albissola

I don't really speak the language either but the answer is no.

"La casa dell arte" means something like Art House, which will be the name of the pottery. "Albisola capo" is a place in the region of "Savona".

I agree 1930's. See here no. 6 for a similar vase valued at €600-€800.

cheers Gareth . So, maybe worth getting the two little chips in the rim seen to then.

I would think so. And registering with Italian eBay!

that would be awkward - the few times i've sold stuff on ebay to an Italian customer, every item has got lost in their postal system and i've ended up having to refund their money.

I feel a mix of shame and angry listening such comment ...sorry

I've always been fine with Italy actually. You just need to use international signed for or a decent courier...
