專家說明

See Carola Fiocco et al., Capolavori della Maiolica Castellana dal Cinquecento al Terzo Fuoco La Collezzione Matricardi, Teramo Exhibition Catalogue, 2012, p. 67 for an albarello perhaps from the same pharmacy as the second drug-flask (the treatment of the label is the same) and belonging to a group attributed to the Maestro dell'Annunciazione.

Buglossa denotes the medicinal plant Bugloss, thought to expel poisons and venom; the leaves, flowers and roots were used.
