Hello all, just a quick question about Royo pieces, i have seen the dishes, jugs and vases, but has anyone seen signed animals?

I seem to remember there were elephants but not sure if they were signed.

Yes the Efelumps are signed ... well some at least . Quite a lot have exotic birds and deer . Flora and Fauna comes to mind .

Yep, them's the one's !! it's the first one i have come across, even the toe's are painted and it is decorated with roosters and grapes ? and a stunning blue coloured glass
i have no idea what it would have been used for, it has an open back so maybe just a trinket dish.
Anyway, thank you both for the quick reply  :-*
By the way, where there other animals made? and if so what to look out for?

The elephant is mass produced by Stiver in Italy from circa 1970 and Royo used them for blanks - it may be towards the end of his working life
