The photograph is inscribed 'Volpi' near the jug, for the collector and dealer, Elia Volpi of Florence.referenceterm-107871adlib-term-10787178553be6-c810-30a1-9ba7-23f9a8a0094713th Centuryreferenceterm-107695adlib-term-1076959675e97a-a0f5-3db2-9f8b-5255e41704ed14th Centuryreferenceterm-10603adlib-term-1060309088083-a78d-3d70-9f4f-343b5c3283d7Medievalreferenceterm-110716adlib-term-1107167fa143b1-2071-36b6-81a5-02ab08b0f7d9literalItalyItalycountryliteralUmbriaUmbriaregionOrvietoexcept footreferenceterm-39575adlib-term-39575cdf6707a-1eeb-3622-a26b-6e54f1f8d4abtin-glazereferenceterm-42861adlib-term-428615b368285-f1a8-3dcf-a5b2-637fd3c3956cearthenwareHeightcm38.0Widthcm19.0referencemedia-183271adlib-media-183271cd453b9b-ac88-3592-b84d-a3308216befajpegaa/aa29/C_81_1927.jpg1heightpixels1024widthpixels74817029263369011imagejpegaa/aa29/mid_C_81_1927.jpg1heightpixels684widthpixels50017029263369011imagejpegaa/aa29/C_81_1927.jpg1heightpixels1024widthpixels74817029263369011imagejpegaa/aa29/preview_C_81_1927.jpg1heightpixels342widthpixels25017029263369011image0media
