Painted in blue, green, and yellow.
Albarello with straight sides, sloping shoulders, a short neck with a groove below the projecting rim and two handles, each composed of three rolls of clay pressed together, with upturned terminals.
The front is decorated with a circular medallion containing a woman standing in a landscape with trees and buildings. She rests her right hand on a shield, and holds a spear in her left. The medallion is surrounded by symmetrical grotesques, including dolphins, flaming torches and foliated scrolls, reserved in a rectangular blue panel. A wide label with pairs of blue horizontal bands above and below, encircles the lower part of the jar. The front is inscribed in blue. Below, and on the shoulder at the front, there are foliated scrolls painted in blue alla porcellana. The handles and rim are green.no cataloguereferenceexhibition-1605adlib-exhibition-160504d3c358-0bef-3d8f-8df5-14f16987ac1bItalian Maiolica in the Fitzwilliam Museum25referenceexhibition-2376adlib-exhibition-23763e2208a0-ad25-3b64-b03f-cb63aa00fd02Treasured Possessions from the Renaissance to the EnlightenmentC.185-19911accession numberC.185-199148315priref48315urihttps://data.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/id/object/48315https://data.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/id/object/48315squareinscribed in pencil204labelreferenceagent-149638adlib-agent-1496387376d833-d0a7-3be0-916e-9c892b7a24d8The Fitzwilliam MuseumH.S.

The inscription on this jar 'SLI RoI P stands for the Latin, salvia ridotto praeparatio (reduced sage preparation).This pharmacy jar was attributed to Faenza in the unpublished third volume of the Pringsheim collection, and to Castel Durante in the Catalogue of the Pringsheim Sale, but the red fabric and bluish-green handles and rim suggest a Tuscan origin. In 1987 Wilson tentatively attributed the British Museum's jar to Montelupo, citing for comparison the grotesques on a jug which was excavated there. Luccarelli has attributed the two in the Museo Civico, Massa Marittima, to Siena, where grotesques were a prominent feature of frescos and tile pavements. The panel on the front of the Fitzwilliam's jar seems to support Luccarelli's view, for both figure and landscape are similar in style to a series of late fifteenth-century panels representing famous men and women attributed to the Master of Griselda with Neroccio de' Landi (1447-1500) or Signorelli (active 1470-1523). The pavilion and trees in particu¬lar are reminiscent of those in the back¬ground of Alexander the Great in the Barber Institute, Birmingham. Other features of the jar support a Siena attri¬bu¬tion. The form could have evolved from the large relief-blue albarelli bearing the emblem of Santa Maria della Scala in Siena, although it is not certain that they were made there. A Siena or Siena area also seems to be supported by a Sienese floor tile with a comparable figure on the front. However, scientific analysis of this jar and an example in the British Museum, did not support an attribution to Siena.referenceterm-128171adlib-term-1281715652efbe-9925-3bba-936f-62cfd6954cf416th Century, Early#referenceterm-11364adlib-term-113647245b126-74ce-3569-8149-2aeb1daafa35literalItalyItalycountryliteralTuscanyTuscanyregionperhapsSienareferenceterm-42861adlib-term-428615b368285-f1a8-3dcf-a5b2-637fd3c3956cearthenwareHeightcm37Widthcm30.1referencemedia-187013adlib-media-1870134a02608c-750b-370c-9db8-d6d2db999d6fjpegaa/aa30/c_185_1991_1_201210_amt49_mas.jpg1heightpixels1024widthpixels75617029264254761imagejpegaa/aa30/mid_c_185_1991_1_201210_amt49_mas.jpg1heightpixels677widthpixels50017029264254761imagejpegaa/aa30/c_185_1991_1_201210_amt49_mas.jpg1heightpixels1024widthpixels75617029264254761imagejpegaa/aa30/preview_c_185_1991_1_201210_amt49_mas.jpg1heightpixels339widthpixels25017029264254761image0media
