拍品专文

This painter, sometimes referred to as the Master of the Bergantini bowl, was active in the workshop of Piero Bergantini from around 1525 to at least 1538.

The elaborate decoration on the border is typical of a technique of which the finest example dated 1538 is in the Petit Palais, Dutuit Collection, see Catherine Join-Dieterle, Catalogue de Céramiques I (1984), no. 35. Despite a consistency of style and very close similarities, no piece repeats the border design on another.
