Production
Lodi maiolica, according to Sig. Luciano Agosti of Milan (1959). Compare Corvi, Novasconi La ceramica lodigiana, Lodi, 1959, p. 36. Dish signed AMC in manganese (factory of A. M. Coppellotti ). The resemblance actually does not come very close and maybe purely fortuitous, no reason to regard 1233 as Lodi.
