Featured Chinese sauce pitcher with long spout

I have a Chinese sauce pitcher with long spout with blue décor. The top diameter is 2", bottom diameter 2", 3 1/2" height. Long snout. There is no lid I am looking for the company, pattern, era and the Chinese dynasty. I found Chinese on the bottom as shown in 5th pic. Thank you for your assistance. Rob

 

It is a lovely little pitcher, Rob, but I don't recognize anything Chinese about it. The scribble doesn't look Chinese either.
Maybe someone else recognizes the style.

 

I think the mark is actually FF, from Italy: https://www.rubylane.com/item/844929-S4171/Vintage-Italian-Milk-Dragon-Pitcher-Jug

 

AJ, do you think it could be middle eastern?

Well, my first thought was DERUTA (Italy)...

 

My first thought was Mediterranean European, so Italian makes sense.
Italy has had strong ties with the Middle East for thousands of years, so a bit of cross-contamination isn't unusual. But the shape looks European to me.

Blue and white ceramics originated in Persia, btw, and spread from there to China and Europe. Chinese influences also came to Europe, bringing more blue and white with them. It is a small world.

 

Do we know what FF represents? Found a few of them but not blue and white or with FF sign. Rob

 

It's the mark of Fratelli Fanciullacci, but I don't know if it really is. We need Walter.

 

Does anyone know what happened to Walter? I think he could be insightful on this piece. Thank you. Rob

 

I clicked on his name and started a conservation. Hopefully, he will get my message and review the information and become a part of the discussion to help us all understand what is going on with this piece. Rob
