Lot Essay

For a fragment with a very similar border and with a young man in front of a similar hurdle fence, see Julia Poole, Italian maiolica and incised slipware in the Fitzwilliam Museum, Cambridge, 1995, p. 511, no. 558, where she notes that borders of this type are typical of the Veneto and Emilia-Romagna regions.
