1520-1560 (made)
| Artist/Maker | |
| Place of origin |
While this bowl or wine cooler is stylistically related to products of the Alberghetti foundry of the last 15th and early 16th centuries, the comparatively thin casting and 'ghosting' of the gadroons indicate that it is probably a later cast, and may even be a product of the 19th century.
