Provenance:
The shape and characteristics of this decoration are reminiscent of a large series of majolica items from the Apothecary of the Santuario di Loreto, now the Museo del Palazzo Apostolico di Loreto, most of which are attributed to the workshop of Orazio Fontana (J. Rasmussen, The Robert Lehmann Collection, Metropolitan Museum of Art 1989, pp. 172–173, Nos. 102 and 103).
