Title: Cantagalli
Post by: Elaine on August 15, 2007, 02:09:19 PM

Looking at the Delft marks on the site Christine linked to on my post about the tea jar, http://www.oldandsold.com/pottery/holland1.shtml  I noticed no. 18 - a cockerel - and it rang a bell!  Could it be the same as on this vase, also inherited from my great-aunt? 

BTW, this was in perfect condition when I inherited it, but my stupid clod of an ex-husband knocked it down the stairs!  :boohoo: I was heartbroken, but he dismissed it as, "Too bad!  It's broken now.  What are you going to do about it?" (Philistine!  >:( )  Well, I carefully collected every tiny piece I could find (and believe me, some of them really were tiny!) and painstakingly put it back together! <smug> :ao:  ;D

Looks Italian to me Elaine.

Cantagalli or Ventian are two possible avenues?

Fairly sure this is Cantagalli following a quick search, I dont have Godden but if someone does from memory I think it can be dated from the number.

Yes, Martyn.  I think I have to agree with you, after looking at Cantagalli marks!  Thank you, again!   :kissy:

Can anyone find the date from the number?  I'd be very grateful.

To Elaine
I also have a copper lustre vase that I have been trying to find out about - the designs are art nouveau, after william de morgan who spent time in Italy and contributed designs to Canatagalli - so I think these vases date from 1900 and are art nouveau, yours is in the persian/iznik style, and mine in the stylized plant style, but same colourways - does anybody agree/disagree ? The colours of copper lustre are fab in my opinion, and far less common than the renaissance style designs
Best regards
Gemma

Hello Sue
Thanks for reply. The writing is the word cantagalli in blue. I have an Arnhem plate, it is a traditional delft type pattern of flowers. I don't think they made copper lustre, Cantagalli did.
With best regards
Gemma
