Lot Essay

A version of this model, much less crisply moulded and less finely detailed has been ascribed to the Milanese factory of Pasquale Rubati, though there are no marks to support this attribution
See Saul Lévy, Maioliche Settecentesche, col. pl. XV. It is probable that the Milanese examples were copied from earlier German ones
