many Italian ceramic makers created similar designs but Quadrifoglio had noticeably better quality
these used higher quality glazes and had better decorators than most

Beautiful vases. There is a good chance that these were designed by Milvia Scarpa.
" Milvia Scarpa was born in 1934, studied art, and became the lead designer at Quadrifoglio in Milan in the late 1950s, being responsible for their characteristic hallmark style. She became better known later as a successful fabric designer, with her similar, cheery range of tea towels 'La Settimana di Milvia' being in millions of Italian homes in the 1960s & 70s. "

thanks for the comment, I like this sort of trivia as a bit of an Italian ceramic 'geek' ;-)
