This impressive vase by Cantagalli appears to be copied after a vase in the Italian Royal collections (whereabouts unknown), published in Théodore Deck, La Faience, primary source edition, open source reprint of 1887, fig.11, p.26. The copy of renowned pieces in public and private collections by most European ceramicists such as Cantagalli, Theodore Deck, Samson and Lachenal is well recorded. It is particularly interesting that lot 428 in this sale is also a copy of the same Iznik original, this time executed by Samson and on a much smaller scale.
