| Credit line | Bequeathed by George Salting, Esq. |
| Object history | Salting Bequest, formerly D'Yvon Collection. (sale catalogue Paris 30 May 1892, Lot 52) See Rackham, Bernard 'Italian Maiolica' Pl 23 (London: Faber & Faber, 1952). |
| Production | The leaf scroll on orange ground on this & 206 is very reminiscent of fragments in the Oliveriana library at Pesaro, probably excavated locally and made either in Pesaro or in its hinterland (eg Castel Durante or Urbino). J.V.G.Mallet Pesaro was not under the dominion of the Duchy of Urbino so it is unlikely that the vase was made there |
