Topic: Is this a real Royo?

[Ivo]

Don't want to dash your hopes but that looks like a retail label to me...

I would like to take a moment to compliment the efforts of this group. Since the group has been discussing the Cirera and Royo pieces, I've noticed that the attributions of the pieces has changed on eBay and the internet, in general. Many sellers have stopped including the Moser name. Their pieces seem to be selling for as much as the ones that have Moser in the title. It may be a bit picky on my part, but I like seeing pieces that are correctly attributed. There are apparently a lot of people who are reading the GMB, even if they are not posting.

I am not so sure about the label being retailers , it is a bit like some of the 20/30s Italian factory labels , but it does say Spain and even retailers labels can help the research.  :ghug:

johnphillip, I have one of the strange shaped Royo cruets in its black metal stand. It has a label on the neck that reads "Arte Catalan, Hand Made in Spain." I did some research on the label that led me to Barcelona. I wish someone had something more concrete on Royo. It would be nice to be able to read it on the internet.

This New York dealer nicely sums up the discussions we had on this subject before:

What I can tell you is that Royo and, more particularly, Cirera signed pieces sell for a lot of money in Spain.  There's a Spanish auction site (they don't really do eBay in Spain) where you can find examples.

Oops - forgot to put the Spanish site address - todocoleccion.net
