The dark green mark belongs to Verbano Laveno (Verbano Factory of the Italian Ceramic Society), a historic porcelain manufacturer active in Laveno-Mombello, in the province of Varese. Emblem in the shape of a triangle topped by a stylized crown with a cross at the top. The triangle is framed by decorative ribbon motifs and garlands. Inside the triangle the word VERBANO appears, while below the lower decorative element the word LAVENO is present. This specific green underglaze mark is generally associated with the production of table porcelains, tea sets, or decorative objects made between the 1930s and 1965.
