Now, here's a funny thing. A few years back, I bought at auction a christening mug with the original baby's name on it. Cost me about forty five...
They're for drinking cava.
That's interesting, Terry. There's some rather good German costume jool makers out there. cxgirl, thanks for the compliment. I love my Lumix. ;)...
Mine is about the same size as that.
Ah. Or Ste, which is the French abbreviation. Good thought.
Orvieto will be the region the wine was made in, rather than the company. And ratehr nice it is, too. I'd try drinking it.

Could it be Szechan?
Indeed. ;) My mama used it at dinner parties, and was a dab hand at making the curls. Butter scooped on to bread plate, the roll must ALWAYS be...

If there's space for a metal lid, it might be a jam pot.
Might be Bulgarian.
Nice bird. Try Zelezny Brod as the maker. Zanetti did this stuff as well, but yours looks more Czech.
I'd say late 60s or even very early 70s. Lovely piece, very clean lines. That handle is a bit Ruskin Pottery.
Heh. ;) I'm rather thinking I remember that logo. Not that I ever pinched china from the place.
