Note du spécialiste

For a full discussion of this type of decoration and its association with the Fontana and Patanazzi workshops see Julia Poole, Italian maiolica and incised slipware in the Fitzwilliam Museum Cambridge, Cambridge, 1995, pp. 396-404, and p. 339, no. 429 for a dish painted with a youth in the centre within a similar border to that on the present lot.
