<p>[QUOTE="Walter Del Pellegrino, post: 144236, member: 90"]I don't believe the plate was produced by the Cantagalli factory, however, there may be an historical connection. In the 1930's the Cantagalli family sold the business and the trademark to a former employee, Amerigo Menegatti. By the 1950's the company was in financial trouble and as a result quality suffered greatly. The firm survived for another fifty years or so. </p><p>It is possible that your plate is from the Menegatti studio of the 1950's but any Cantagalli connection is weak at best.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
