Notes

Similar crespine were made in the workshop of Virgiliotto Calamelli. However, this bowl, although lacking a workshop mark, is particularly near to wares made in the workshop of Enea Utili, a Protestant potter from Faenza whose works usually bear his initials. Only a few facts are known about Enea Utili: his activity as a potter is documented from 1542 to 1586, and in 1567 he, together with his son and collaborator Baldassarre, was denounced for Lutheranism.

Provenance

Acquired by Thomas Gambier Parry between 1863 and 1875
