<p>[QUOTE="RachelW, post: 2283433, member: 15376"]I'm wondering if I'm right about dating this little pitcher. Its my favorite of my purchases this weekend, its such a gorgeous color. The artist is a French potter who worked from the 30s to the 80s, Alphonse Mouton. It has his mark 'Alpho', also has 4 or 40 stamped under his name, and also has the number 35(0?) written on the base. Am I correct in thinking 40 is the year? Also had a name written on the side of the vase, I'm 90% sure it is not original, as I found several other similar pieces with local village names that were not Alpho. Its roughly 3 inches tall. Would also love any other details about the vase since my eye is so untrained. Thanks!</p><p><br /></p><p style="text-align: center">[ATTACH=full]257730[/ATTACH] </p> <p style="text-align: center">[ATTACH=full]257731[/ATTACH] </p> <p style="text-align: center">[ATTACH=full]257732[/ATTACH] </p> <p style="text-align: center">[ATTACH=full]257733[/ATTACH] </p> <p style="text-align: center"><br /></p> <p style="text-align: center">I know I'm all over the forums, and probably getting rather annoying at this point, I do apologise. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/tongue.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":p" unselectable="on" /></p><p>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
