[sellfast-won]

Hello everyone,
First time here, im sure not the last.
I need some help with this item, does anyone know what it would be worth and where I can get info about its history?
It is in mint condition and is aprox 5 1/2" X 3 1/2" at the base of the bell.


Thanks in advance.:D

Hi. Welcome to the forums, the best way to learn more is to identify the manufacturer. The stamp is difficult to ready, but try this site:

and see if any of the marks match. KB, the importer, is now out of business, but did a nice amount of importing in their time.

Hello . . . this label was an Importer of Italian art works (possibly other items), who brought items into the U.S. Mid-20th Century, and possibly beyond. I am familiar with this importer most frequently on mid-century Italian Murano glass -- Barbini created items for this company, and undoubtedly other mid-century glass companies created for them. That you have this on a piece of pottery, also indicates the company commissioned and imported Italian majolica type wares to the U.S. Good luck. Yvonne:)
