拍品专文

Dishes of this type painted with young women are thought to have been given as tokens of love or affection, or they may have been associated with marriage. Bella donna pieces are frequently inscribed with the name of the woman followed by bella, and some parts of the inscriptions were frequently abbreviated or omitted. This coppa is painted with a young lady called Diana, and the inscription is most probably Dian[a] bra[va e] b[ella], which translates as Diana, good and beautiful.
