      V,
      Glad you liked it.
      Possibly, but I'm no expert in this field.
      Stylistically feels right.

      V,

      A little bit of what you fancy does you good!

      Do you know much about ICS?

      It is the German link that is 'important' ....
      In 1927, Berlin-born, Moses Malamerson, better known to the art world as Max, arrived in Vietri Sul Mar and established a ceramics studio. It was a monumental moment in ceramics history. His ICS factory was a magnet for the Teutonic émigrés settling along the Amalfi coast beginning in the first half of the 20th century. ICS became the foundation for an entirely new and distinctive form of ceramics art that melded the traditional themes of nature captured by native Campanian artists (sea-life, animals, cliff-side panoramas, etc) for centuries with the experimental art forms sweeping Europe at the time.

      ICS is the only mark that can claim the honor of having employed all the famous artists of the German (Tedesco) Period. The list includes Studemann, Kowalski, Hannasch, Dolker, Cassetta, Gambone, Procida, Giovannino and others.

      Hi V

      Thanks a lot - the link was excellent and your personal take on ICS v.meaningful.

      I feel that the mystery surrounding my little indulgence may have been solved.

      It might also be a forgery, according to the link; however the spirit and vibrant life of the piece makes me strongly suspect that it is original.

      More research!
