    I am running in to dead ends in trying to identify the maker of this piece of pottery. I did find that Nido means nest in Italian. Any ideas? Would this be called a flagon or something else? It is 12"

    Thanks! I always think of a ewer as having more of a spout than this. Didn't really think it big enough for a floor vase but it is getting close.

    It’s Bitossi by Aldo Londi the Ventrada designs.

    Great... thank you! Thread is 5+ years old but I think I may still have this piece somewhere. Never got any interest in it locally for even $12.00. Think I can do better than that on ebay now that I know what it is ;)
