An albarello of the same form decorated in a very similar manner, but with portraits of four boys, is illustrated by Julia Poole, Italian maiolica and incised slipware in the Fitzwilliam Museum, Cambridge, 1995, pp. 279-280, no. 353, where she discusses the merits of the traditional identification of the portraits. Poole, ibid., p. 278, discusses fragments excavated at Pesaro which point to a Pesaro attribution. See Andrea Ciaroni, Maioliche del Quattrocento a Pesaro, Frammenti di Storia dell'arte ceramica dalla bottega dei Fedeli, Florence, 2004, p. 148, fig. XVI for the same albarello, and pp. 58-59 for illustrations of shards with portraits which are similar to the Fitzwilliam albarello and the present lot, but not so conclusively as to leave no doubt.
Another similar albarello is illustrated by Pierre-Alain Mariaux, La Majolique, La Faïence Italienne et son décor dans les Collections Suisses XVe - XVIIIe Siècles , Geneva, 1995, p. 71, no. 17. A pharmacy-bottle of similar type with a similar portrait is illustrated by T. Wilson and E. Sani, Le maioliche rinascimentali nelle collezioni della Fondazione Cassa di Risparmio di Perugia, 2007, Vol. II., pp. 240-241, no. 134, where Wilson discusses attributions for this style.
