A Castelli maiolica armorial small dish, first half 18th century
Decorated with a coat of arms and the initials A M, above a landscape scene with figures and a building at a lake, the rim with a band of foliate scrollwork, 24.3cm diam. (typical chips to rim)
Footnotes
Two similar dishes were sold at Christie's Paris, 16 November 2008, lot 27, where the coat of arms was attributed to the Durini family. Unfortunately, only certain aspects correspond and it is more likely the coat of arms belongs to another family.
