The design also occurs on the large display dishes, often described today as piatti da pompa, which are one of the most characteristic products of Deruta potteries in the sixteenth century. There are numerous examples of the design on dishes and bowls of different shapes and sizes. See the Documention. Less commonly the pattern occurs in polychrome, for example on a dish in the Bargello in Florence.
The deep narrow well and broad rim of this bowl probably indicates that it was made during the first third of the century. During the 1530s broad-rimmed bowls generally had a wider, shallower well, and they began to go out of fashion after about 1540, possibly because of the fashion for all-over istoriato decoration. The persistence of the pattern into the 1540s is shown by its occurrence on the reverse of a basin in the Hermitage, St Petersburg, which is moulded with the same design as one dated 1546 in the Musée du Louvre in Paris.referenceterm-113222adlib-term-113222f48e32b1-88de-389d-beac-3989a8b2b34b16th Century, first half#referenceterm-10618adlib-term-106189ebc0ae1-8cf8-312b-832c-9cf44da02136Renaissancereferenceterm-110784adlib-term-110784306cbe64-9c29-347d-bae9-6fa7b2d98848literalItalyItalycountryliteralUmbriaUmbriaregionDerutareferenceterm-39575adlib-term-39575cdf6707a-1eeb-3622-a26b-6e54f1f8d4abtin-glazereferenceterm-42861adlib-term-428615b368285-f1a8-3dcf-a5b2-637fd3c3956cearthenwareDiametercm21.5Heightcm4.5referenceterm-107667adlib-term-1076671b81c806-cfb7-3291-9803-525db5f75e09bowlbroad-rimmed bowltondinohistory noteWilliam Morris (d. 1896); Miss May Morris.1same provenancereferenceobject-48556adlib-object-485566b192f09-f40f-31be-9710-644b23d2af771reference1term-107667adlib-term-1076671b81c806-cfb7-3291-9803-525db5f75e09bowlbowlreferenceagent-149638adlib-agent-1496387376d833-d0a7-3be0-916e-9c892b7a24d8The Fitzwilliam MuseumPubl.
