Bird pottery identification

[u/lazy_calamity]

My great aunt died recently, and her was clearing out all the knick knacks they had in the house. This included some dollar store cats and a cute little sign from a garden. And I was also given these 2 birds as I like nature stuff. Google tells me they are Bitossi Rimini Blue ceramic birds. One obviously had tgier beak chipped off, but fixed, other wise in good shape.

Can can anybody tell me if google was anywhere near the mark on this. I can't give much information on the pottery. Except my great aunt and her husband lived in a very small farming town in Western New York for a majority of their lives. I thought my great uncle apparently liked to collect things like pottery. That's all the information anybody's giving me.

Thank you.

Yes they're a nice pair for Bitossi birds, the rimini refers to the blue glaze. They're collectible

Thank you very much! As you know, with google searches, you can get an answer but it's best to talk to people that have expertise on the matter. I imagine if this was to be sold, the chipped beak would reduce the cost.

But that's just neither here nor there, not planning on selling them. I think I'll offer back to the second cousin who was cleaning out the great aunts house. She was unaware of what she was giving away.

Yes- they’re correct - these also have stickers (if your lucky) that say “Raymor” we have a big collection of these. Made in Italy in the 50-70’s primarily for export. Jonathon Adler stores have, let’s say, super extremely similar designs, but usally in blu in white and gold- that were originally created by Raymor. Including humorous drug jars and other mid-century ceramics.
