This crespina forms part of a group of objects almost certainly decorated by the same hand, including a coppa in the Louvre depicting Adam and Eve (Louvre Inv. OA 1555), a coppa depicting Guidon (Louvre Inv. MR 2215), both illustrated by Jeanne Giacomotti, Catalogue des majoliques des musées nationaux, Paris, 1974, p. 291, nos. 910 and 911, and attributed to Rimini; an alzata depicting Venus and Bacchus in the Museo del Vino, Torgiano, and it has been suggested that the basin formerly in the Bernal and Fortnum Collections which is now in the Victoria and Albert Museum, (illustrated by Bernard Rackham, Catalogue of Italian Maiolica, London, 1940, no. 909), is also by the same painter.
