On glass, yes? The frame isn't old - can you show the back, or even take it out? My gut feel at the moment is that it's a good repro. An original...
It's a very very good group, as much as anything because the families of several makers are on it.
Identical, isn't it.
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....

K equates to r in Sindarin.
Hoom, hoom, booraroom, in my best Entish voice. Try this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cirth - the table about half way down ought to do it....
