Good morning! I have found an old 3-part pottery tray that has markings on the bottom I can't locate. Any help would be appreciated!!

Can you post a picture of the tray in its entirety? It may be helpful in determining the manufacturer.

By the way, I had someone else in a chat room look at it and say it WASN'T from Italy...but, do YOU see the "Italy" in script under the scrolling double M's?? He said this looks more Japanese in design than Italian. I know the floral on the front doesn't look the typical Italian...isn't it usually more bold and vibrant? I looked thru a loupe tho, and it definitely has ITALY in the blue imprint. Overall, this appears pretty old with crazing and discolorations. What do you think?
And....thank you again!!
