The underside of the piece shows it was hand-painted in Italy and marked “Italy” and “Pier 1,” indicating it was made for or distributed by Pier 1 Imports. While it may not be an antique, it definitely carries that mid-to-late 20th-century Italian pottery flair — whimsical, colorful, and great for a spring or garden-themed tablescape. See less
