The writing on back means this was number 4 of 140 made and I think the name above Italy is the person who hand painted it Cololo, Colile as no Italian town similar.

Good luck.

The man who is in charge of that forum, Walter DePellegrino (sp?) is VERY knowledgeable about Italian pottery.
I came to know of him on the eBay pottery forums

Here’s a thread for Researching [URL removed] removed]

I found at more than ONE Google hit, plates, and covered dishes stating on the Bottom it was [URL removed] CII or C.L.L. or C.I.I. and then Italy…with number liken to the one you have 160/6…I found a Similar Relish Tray going for $18.00 claiming to be Vintage and from Italy…I found another similar dish (without portions like your 3) asking for $36.00…I suppose it’s all relative, actually, in the vintage and antique market, basically, and much of the time things are worth what buyers are willing to pay for them, which could very well fluctuate from year to year, or not. Hope You Find what You Need, you might not find what you want about this, but it is darling, especially with that pear being liken to a handle and those wonderful colors in the floral designs of your relish dish!

I have seen these rose italy dishes in antique,auction,stores etc as well. They seem to always have that typical signing on back and seem to come in a variation of the colors. I had a luncheon, tea set with more pink. I did sell it. I do think that your divided dish is more unusual, I think you will sell it and it is a nice item. Yetta

Thanks ya’all. I searched a bit myself, but didn’t find anything definitive, and don’t have hours to spend on it. Your info was helpful. Apparently this artist isn’t currently considered famous, otherwise there’d be more info on him/her.

Beautiful piece, though, eh? :)

COOL (‘cuz it’s informative) [URL removed] I did check [URL removed] as HodgePodgeLodge suggested and this was the response I got from [URL removed]

“I have never seen that mark before, it might not even be a trademark. The piece has all the traits of ceramics made in Nove or its neighbor, Bassano (both are near Venice). The design is an updated version of the classical “Nove Rose”. Dating these pieces are difficult because they have remained unchanged for a century or more. In this case, however, the fact that the pattern deviates from the classical suggests it was made sometime between 1950 and 1970. These sweetmeat or candy dishes do not attract much attention at auctions and, in my opinion, will only fetch a few dollars, if it sells at all.
