<p>[QUOTE=&quot;say_it_slowly, post: 10435720, member: 50&quot;]Our dearly treasured Walter responded to someone about the mark on his site. Below is alot of his remark.</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://www.tapatalk.com/groups/italianpotterymarks/este-vase-t68.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.tapatalk.com/groups/italianpotterymarks/este-vase-t68.html" rel="nofollow">https://www.tapatalk.com/groups/italianpotterymarks/este-vase-t68.html</a></p><p><br /></p><p>The company takes its name from the historic town of Este in the province of Padua (near Venice).The factory &quot;Este Pottery and Porcelain&quot; was founded in 1893 by the merger Brunello di Giovanni Battista with the factory of Varion Franchini, both active since the mid 18th century, with the same type of production based on pottery tableware, figurines and monumental centerpiece .</p><p>Este porcelain established itself as an internationally important porcelain firm in 1956 when Giovanni Giorgini Battista re-opened the factory after the end of World War II. The factory is located in the same building occupied by the original &#039;Este Ceramiche Porcellane&#039; created in 1753, thus making Este one of the oldest ceramics factories still in use in the world. Today, the factory is owned by Giorgini&#039;s grandson, Giovanni Battista Fadigati.</p><p>Este&#039;s products are found in exclusive, high-end stores around the world but the majority of its export ends up the U.S. The Este mark shown on your vase dates the piece from the late 1950&#039;s through the 1960&#039;s.</p><p>Walter Del Pellegrino[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
