| Object history | Purchase: Henry Wallis Collection. Purchase price note: 1116 to 1151-1904 purchased for £700. |
| Production | The wash of pale creamy slip underlying the glaze is very apparent under part of the base, which is unglazed. This perhaps suggests Florentine zone or even Umbria more than Faenza. |
