Italian majolica vase
« on: July 04, 2012, 02:06:44 pm »
Hi there,

Another infrequent post. I have been advised that the vase in the photos attached is italian majolica from capo di monte (might have misheard this). the makers mark appears to say 'valceycy' and '34'

as usual I have no clue whatsoever, so any advice would be gratefully recieved

Has a southwest look to me.  Have you tried that angle?

Are you sure someone didn't write that on after. That's the "lily of the Valley" pattern.

Thanks so much for your replies,

No I haven't, I shall look into it. Are you thinking southwest in the US?

Are you sure someone didn't write that on after. That's the "lily of the Valley" pattern.
the mark is definitely under the glaze, not sure what you mean by the lilly of the valley pattern though... are you familiar with this piece?

No, but I put Valceycy "34" in the search for images and that's the pattern that came up. Check and see. Then I tried putting western seen and nothing came up.

I gotta say, Ive done google, bing, yahoo, clusty searches for valceycy "34", just valceycy there seems to be no record of the word valceycy on the internet as far as i can see. maybe its a regional thing cos i'm getting nothing from the uk.
