    Hello! My wife recently found this awesome blue pottery horse at our local antique store. We are having trouble finding much information on this piece. Does anyone know what this is?

    Here is a link to her Instagram post:

    Thanks so much!

    Since I can't help you, I'm so tempted to ask how many Greeks it seats.

    Thanks to all who have replied! A bit more information....
    This horse is 13.5" tall, 10" long, 4" wide (at the base of the feet) and weighs a bit over 8 lbs.

    No worries about the size. Greeks were much smaller once upon a time.

    It looks like there is a remnant of a sticker on the inside of the rear legs.

    I think there might be a Bitossi Facebook Forum or such.

    There's an excellent Bitossi FB group. I don't think this is Bit: that glaze looks all wrong. It's patchy and salt glaze, which Bitossi isn't. Clay colour isn't right either, nor are its footses.

    Just wanted to say that I posted about a lamp here and was advised it may be Bitossi and given the FB info. I joined the group and got immediate overwhelming confirmation, even from someone called "Guido Bitossi"!

    I look forward to hearing the outcome for you, good luck!

    Awe, that is really cute! I’m going to remember to refer there should I ever have a Bitossi related question!

    It's a very very good group, as much as anything because the families of several makers are on it.
