The inscription translates as ‘And when the King of Sodom had seen the happy victory of the great Abraham’.
A charger with the same scene in the Herzog Anton Ulrich-Museum, Brunswick, is illustrated by Johanna Lessmann, Italienische Majolika, Katalog der Sammlung, Brunswick, 1979, p. 231, no. 245, which she attributes to the Fontana workshop, and she notes that the print source for the scene is a print by Bernard Salomon for Figure del vecchio testamento, published in Lyon by Jean de Tournes in 1554. The figure of Abraham, dressed as a Roman warrior, is also very similar in pose to Bernard Salomon's woodcut of Erysichthon, King of Thessaly, in the 1557 edition of Ovid's Metamorphoses.
