    Measures 7 1/2" long x 1 3/4" deep x 3 3/4" wide. Do you recognize the signature? I would really appreciate your help. I've had it for close to 20 years, paid dearly for it at a thrift store. The lady said it was an antique? I had decorated in the animal theme and loved it and still do! :)
    Thanks!

      It's upside down but looks a bit like italy to me.

      I posted a new photo, had never recognized Italy as a choice of translation. Thanks, racer4four....anyone else out there?

      I think racer is right - looks like 7534 Italy in the fourth photo

      Here is a similar box and lighter, same brand. (about halfway down the page)

      I suggest maybe joining and asking this FB group is they can ID the maker:
      https://www.facebook.com/groups/109867845821284/
      (The mid century Italian Ceramic and Bitossi group). They are very helpful!

      Hey, that is exactly like mine, except, I don't have the lighter, cool! And thanks for the link to the Italian pottery facebook groups. :)

      Racer4four, Guess what? I joined the facebook link and it is 100% BITOSSI!!!! Thank you for suggesting this site. The folks there are as friendly as CW folks...feel like I have two extended families now! Again, thank you! :)
