There is writing impressed into the bottom of the base all I can make out is No. D and 11 but there is more. The problem is the bottom is glazed and the reflection makes it almost impossible to see and also no way to pencil imprint on paper. :/

From what I have read Capodimonte is one company where the artist signs or initials on top of the base. My thinking is that these are 40's 50ish. So they could have had a foil bottom sticker. Intrada another Italian company does not have anything that looks like these. They do not resemble the "Mom and Pop" country kitchen hen and rooster sets of that era.

Big V I have not tired of looking at these, they are my x mas gift. I was just curious as to the maker. There is an antique show local in April where they have an in house free appraiser. I may have to wait for that
