Sold with thermoluminescence certificate N111k41 dated 23 September 2011 from Oxford Authentication, stating that the samples tested were last fired between 400 and 700 years ago.

Though unusual in form, the aperture for the spout and the base of the handle appear to be original.

Portraits of the same youth appear on albarelli formerly in the Adda Collection [B. Rackham, Islamic Pottery and Italian Maiolica, Illustrated Catalogue of a Private Collection, London, 1959, cat. 369, pl. 160A] and at the Metropolitan Museum of Art [Inv. 46.85.38].
