Title: Antique covered dish 1535/85 Italy
Post by: jamie857 on April 25, 2010, 12:13:32 pm

I have acquired a covered dish with the markings 1535/85 Italy on the bottom of the dish.  The dish and covered have dancing cherubs, some with musical instruments in their hands and are partially dressed or nude.  They look like children.  Does anyone have any knowledge about this piece?

The numbers are probably pattern numbers. The little cherubs are probably whats called putti. Thats an Italian thing. Are there any other marks? Can you post photos?
