Provenance: Turin, Questa’s collectionThe saltwater shows an emblem depicting a lion flanked by letters G and V on one of the four sides, which is the one of the ancient family of Guiscardi from Turin. The white compendiario style may conduct to a production in Faenza or Urbino, but it could even be a proof of the activity of Orazio Fontana in Turin – called by Emanuele Filiberto of Savoia to establish a factory of excellence – or it should be a rare artifact by Francesco Gnagni (or Nanni), operating in town approximately in 1578/79.
Therefore, the magnificent saltwater could be an important high artistic level proof in the city of Turin in the 1500s.
