Inventory nos. 802 and 56. in red enamel to the reverse.

Versions of this portrait appear on dishes attributed to Deruta in the collection of the Fitzwilliam Museum, see Julia E. Poole, Italian maiolica and incised slipware in the Fitzwilliam Museum, Cambridge, Cambridge, 1995, pp. 168-169, no. 238 and 239. Poole suggests that the flowers, perhaps carnations or pinks, were symbols of love and such dishes may have been betrothal or wedding gifts. Similar border designs attributed to Gubbio are illustrated by Jeanne Giacomotti, Catalogue des majoliques des musées nationaux, Paris, 1974, pp. 212-213, nos. 682 and 686.
