Production
Letter from Mr. Norman of Wallace Coll. says (21 April 1965) they have a similar piece. Hannelore Mueller of Ausburg sent Norman a list of maiolica plates with pairs of Ausburg Annus, from which she concluded it was the vogue in the 2nd half of 16th C. in Ausburg to have such plates for weddings. Our plate said to bear arm of Christell and Bocklin, and probably bought for marriage of Ferdinand Bocklin and Regina Christell on 22 August 1594.

Another, property of Sig. Umberto Melin, sold Sotheby's July 16, 1968, Lot. 81.
