MID-16TH CENTURY

This tondino may be by the same hand as the armorial bowl painted with Moses illustrated by Timothy Wilson and Elisa Sani, Le maioliche rinascimentali nelle collezioni della Fondazione Cassa di Risparmio di Perugia, 2006, pp. 145-145, no. 46, where they attribute it to probably Urbino, Urbino district or Monte Bagnolo, and note J.V.G. Mallet's suggestion that it is by the same hand as a plate with Charon's boat in Arezzo, illustrated by C.D. Fuchs, Maioliche istoriate Rinascimentali, del Museo Statale d'Arte Medioevale e Moderna di Arezzo, Arezzo, 1993, p. 185, no. 84 and illustrated in colour on p. 45. A dish (by a different hand) with Daniel in the lions' den in the Strozzi Sacrati is illustrated by Gian Carlo Bojani, La maiolica Italiana del Cinquecento, Capolavori di Maiolica della Collezione Strozzi Sacrati, Florence, 2001, p. 87.
