Catalogue Note
The mark does not appear to be recorded in the literature; the factory of Vincenco Molaroni in Pesaro appears to have specialised in istioriato-style vessels in the late 19th and 20th centuries. See G.B. Ugolini, Ceramiche Pesaresi dal XVIII al XX secolo, no.225, for a vase decorated in 16th century style.
