Large, ugly, painted wall plate made in Italy - fantoni - worth anything?

    I got this the other day at a house where I was just given about 10 boxes of all the stuff from the kitchen. It is big and heavy - 14" across, 2 1/2" deep - and ugly. The finish is painted, not glazed. I found quite a bit of information about fantoni, but is it the same one? Thank for any help.

    Not my area, book, but all of the Marcello Fantoni sigs I've seen in a quick search look like this:

    Yours is nicely done, but what a strange technique! Sort of impasto base, with “sgrafitto” outlining the design. Interesting,

    I'd pop that on the Bitossi Facebook group, there's some good Fantoni expertise therre.
