Lavorazione Artistico, I'm sure. The item is from Empoli and dates back to the 1970s

I think your ipad may be upset due to a death in the family.

Hi Daarhn and welcome to the board!  :hi:

It's probably that the pictures have too large a file size. We generally find that using an image editing program to bring them down to about 700 pixels for the longest side works. There's more info here: http://www.glassmessages.com/index.php/topic,6522.0.html

Let us know if you get stuck.
