FLORENCE (or MONTELUPO); 15th century, half and third quarter.
The albarello has a shape perfectly derived from the segments of bamboo cane, where the spices were introduced to be brought from the East to the West. The wrap-around carpet decoration is obtained in very interesting colours; in fact, in addition to the yellow obtained from the ferraccia and the green-branch that softens the centre of the leaves, the albarello has the very intense blue of the sapphire halfway between the diluted and the relief, with some colour drippings on the enamel. The unusual decoration, but of great visual impact, makes the majolica very rare and precious.
