Note du spécialiste

An albarello of the same form painted in a very similar hand with a female portrait inscribed LIAN is illustrated by Silvia Glaser, Majolika, Die italienischen Fayencen im Germanischen Nationalmuseum Nürnberg, Nuremberg, 2000, p. 26, no. 23.

The label is named for pillole (pills) stomatico, a treatment for gastric disorders.
