    can anyone tell me anything about this piece of pottery. ie: artist name, time made, origin etc. a friend told me that it could possibly be special, as in artisan, rare, handmade.

      It's just the number 883, followed by a very sloppy "Italy."

      I would doubt if it is "artisan, rare, or handmade," since the "signature" has been repeated to the point it has become almost unreadable.

      Sorry I can't tell you any more about it, except that having seen this same type of "Italy" signature so often, it is easy to recognize that part.

      I concur with CanyonRoad - this is Italian export ware.

      I'm not entirely sure but maybe it's Bitossi pottery. I have seen this pattern in orange but never in this blue / green color. I have seen other pieces of Bitossi that are marked in the same sloppy way.
