Vintage Ardalt company was an American importer of tableware and decorative china that emerged after WWII. It first appeared as ARDALT Inc. Corp., New York in 1945 and continued into the early 1960s. The principal countries of manufacture were Japan and Italy. The Italian wares were particularly fine and Mille Fiori and Fiori Bianco represent the peak of these. They involved much laborious hand modeling of the applied decoration as well as intricate and multiple mold work and "luting" (gluing with clay slip) of all the pieces together It dates to the 1950s. Signed on the back. less
