Catalogue Note
The bold laurel wreath on this jar is an early, Gothic use of a design which was later to be a commonly-used motif found, in more restrained style, on mid-century Deruta maiolica.
A similarly brilliant wreath is found on the celebrated Jug with the arms of the Piccolmini family, sold in these rooms 10th May 1962, lot 10 Another similar wreath, in conjunction with a very similar formal floral ground, is found on a two-handled albarello of typical Deruta form sold at Christie's, 2nd October 1989, lot 54.
The arms are probably those of Tricino, of Piedmont.
