Back: "a calza" blue and brown.

Condition: good; some glueing.
Provenance: Rimini, Cleto Cucci Collection.
Dish manufactured in Faenza in the 15th century, with a decorative pattern of rare beauty. The coat-of-arms belongs to the House of Visconti, Dukes of Milan, here shown in a simplified version without the boy emerging from the mouth of the serpent. A Visconti commission in Faenza should come as no surprise inasmuch as the Visconti were a frequent and major presence in Romagna, a region which they eyed unceasingly with a view to expanding their dominions.
