This dish appears to be by the same hand as the plate at Cluny (inv. 2310) illustrated by Jeanne Giacomotti, Catalogue des majoliques des musées nationaux, Paris, 1974, pp. 118-119, no. 431, the reverse of which is inscribed In chafagiuollo with the SP monogram.

The inscription translates as 'Acteon turned into a stag', alluding to the ancient story of prince Acteon, who accidentally came upon Diana and her nymphs bathing while he was hunting. Diana turned him into a stag and he was killed by his own hunting hounds.
