拍品专文

See Julia Poole, Italian Maiolica and incised slipware in the Fitzwilliam Museum, Cambridge (Cambridge 1995), p. 414, no. 445, for a jar with the same arms supported by female figures. Poole suggests that the Fitzwilliam example is of a quality that might have been executed by Maestro Domenego himself, and it is very probable that the present lot was also decorated by the master. A spouted pharmacy jar with the same arms, which is in a continental private collection, is also mentioned.

A vaso a palla of similar size and form painted with two portraits was sold in these Rooms on 6th December 2004, lot 335.
