Maiolica. Dish/piatto da pompa. Possibly made by a member of the Masci family of Deruta. Shape 61. Circular, with slightly sloping rim, and wide deep well, standing on a footring pierced by three incorrectly placed suspension holes. In the well, a young woman, half-length with her head in profile to right, faces a coiling scroll, inscribed 'LA VITA.EL.FINE.ELDI.LO DA.LASE RA.X.' (Life by its end, day by the evening, is praised). There are formal flowers in the background, and bound laurel round the edge of the well. On the rim, slanting serrated leaves alternate with stylized flowers. A band of yellow lustre encircles the outer edge. Earthenware, the front is tin-glazed; the reverse has thick, opaque, dark yellow lead-glaze. Height, whole, 7.5 cm, diameter, rim, 39.5 cm, circa 1500-1530. Renaissance.
