Renaissance maiolica broad-rimmed bowl, painted in blue with stylised foliage, strokes, dentilated half-leaves, spots, festoons, and tassels.
Broad-rimmed bowl. Earthenware, tin-glazed greyish-white overall. Painted in blue.
Shape 60. Thickly potted and heavy for its size. Circular with wide, slightly sloping rim and deep well, the base slightly concave.
In the well is a disk with a reserved white spot in the centre, surrounded by stylised foliage and two concentric circles; on the sides, twelve leaves with two concentric bands above. The inner edge of the rim is decorated with groups of three curved strokes, and the outer edge with a border of dentilated half-leaves, spots, festoons, and tassels. Two concentric bands encircle the edge. On the back, there is a central crossed circle with a small circle in one quarter; on the side of the well, six horizontal squiggles; and on the rim, four radiating squiggles alternating with four crossed double circles.
