    even clearly marked it's still a mystery if pieces like this ice bucket which are signed with this flower which also might be a four leaved clover are by quadrifoglio florence.

      Hi there !!!

      Good news !!!

      Alla Moda ‘Flower Painter’ – Designer’s Identity Revealed

      By the way it seems that the numeration on the ice bucket is important.
      Mark Hill has this:
      "The letter of the painted characters on the base usually indicates the shape, V for vase, P for plate, A.T. for ashtray."

      C1 B ???

      B for bucket ??
      The Italian for ice-bucket is 'secchio di ghiaccio'.

      Interesting to me is that the numeration / code is based on English words not Italian. Piatto - plate, vaso - vase, portacenere -ashtray and secchio - bucket.
