Has Signature On Bottom As Well As Original Label. 6 1/2 Long 2 Tall & 4 1/2 Wide. If Anyone Has Any Additional Info To Share On Flavia Would Appreciate A Message. This Is My First Encounter With Flavia. I Searched The Internet High And Low To Research. I Could Not Find Another Sea Turtle With This Blue Green Glaze. I Found One With Same Design But Not Glazed. I Found The Following Excerpt. Giampaolo Monti of Ceramichi Bitossi, beginning in 1976 and ending in the year 2000 all ceramic pieces were marked Flavia and the Bitossi name no longer appeared on the underside of any pieces. I do not believe that this is entirely true. Here, for example, piece dated 1996 bearing the Bitossi name. Here is another example dating from the 90s. Signature pieces are still produced by Bitossi today. Digging a little deeper we discover that Bitossi and Flavia are two different companies owned by the parent corporation of Gruppo Colorobbia. These individual companies are limited liability partnerships (SRL). Flavia, it turns out, once represented various lines of decorative accessories for the home. What is important for collectors to bear in mind is that all items that show the Ceramiche Bitossi mark, with or without the addition of the Flavia name, are the tangible results sprung from the creative minds of some of the 20th century’s greatest designers. Furthermore, all examples are hand made and hand decorated by artisans. These items are not mass-produced. Wheel thrown, hand made, hand decorated pottery is always individualistic and imperfect. It is these factors that makes Bitossi so desirable and collectible. GO TO WEBSITE To See Pics With Same Marking Mentioned Above.
