I'm wondering if anyone can give me info about these 2 pieces.
The first is this earthenware pitcher. It's marked on the bottom, I can make out "Handcrafted" and "Spain", but I can't figure out the other 2 words. It's 6.25" tall, the rim is 3.25" without the spout. The different colors of glaze are applied thickly, creating a textural pattern.
The second is this vase. There is a non-English paper label on the bottom. The only word I think I understand is "Warszawa," which leads me to think it's Polish. It may be marked under the label, but I don't think I should remove it to find out. It's porcelain, 7" tall and the diameter of the rim, which has gold trim, is 2.75" .
I put both through Google Images without any luck. Anything I could learn about them would be greatly appreciated!
The sticker on the Polish pottery is most likely the store’s price tag. Using Google Translate, it seems that kwiatogal means flower, then you have the name & address of the store. Nazwa art. is name of the item, filizanka cz. kawa is coffee cup (which is probably why it’s crossed out since it’s a vase). Gatunek is type and Cena det. is price.
Googling Kwiatogal, I found a site that says it was a cooperative of the People’s and Artistic Industry, known primarily for the production of hand-painted porcelain, founded in Warsaw in 1950.
