Childbirth, the most dangerous experience in most women’s lives, required nourishing food, like sweetmeats or broths. In Romagna and the Marches these became known as 'un servizio da impagliata' because the word 'impagliata' was used to describe a woman during her lying-in. According to Cipriano Piccolpasso (c. 1523/4-79) in I tre libri del Arte del Vasaio, written about 1557, the services usually had five pieces arranged on top of each other: a standing bowl covered by a plate, a drinking bowl on a foot, and a salt and its cover. These sets are mentioned in many fifteenth and sixteenth century inventories but apart from a salt in the Victoria and Albert Museum, only bowls and covers appear to have survived. Most of them are decorated with scenes of childbirth, the washing of babies, or women with small children. Others have childbirth scenes from the Bible or classical mythology, or subjects connected with qualities, such as valour, which it was hoped the child would acquire. The Holy Family on the top of this cover was derived from the 'Adoration of the Shepherds', engraved by Giovanni Giacomo Caraglio after Parmigianino (1503-40). It shows the Virgin Mary, Joseph and a female saint, around the new-born baby Jesus, who is cradled in the arms of a woman who has no halo, and was perhaps a midwife. The scene was intended to inspire the new mother, who would have looked to the Virgin and St Anne as models of motherhood. The reverse is painted with two putti, the family’s coat-of- arms, and the initials, ‘ELI’ and ‘PYA’, said to be for the name of the father, ‘Elisio Piani’, an official of the Monte Pietà in Urbino in early sixteenth-century Urbino. A dish painted with the 'Judgement of Paris' by Francesco Xanto in 1531 bears the same coat-of-arms (Fitzwilliam Museum, C.86-1961). If not painted by the 'Milan Marsyas Painter' this cover was probably painted by Francesco Xanto Avelli da Rovigo reference term-120009 adlib-term-120009 690a6332-cfc1-3411-a716-4dd4ec7d9a65 16th Century, second quarter reference term-10618 adlib-term-10618 9ebc0ae1-8cf8-312b-832c-9cf44da02136 Renaissance reference term-110708 adlib-term-110708 ef038505-1555-3c61-b6e2-cadcedf6c42a literal Italy Italy country literal the Marche the Marche region Urbino reference term-39575 adlib-term-39575 cdf6707a-1eeb-3622-a26b-6e54f1f8d4ab tin-glaze reference term-42861 adlib-term-42861 5b368285-f1a8-3dcf-a5b2-637fd3c3956c earthenware Diameter cm 19.2 Height cm 1.9 reference media-200525 adlib-media-200525 59e1eeac-b619-38a0-bf35-bf1818ccaf13 jpeg aa/aa35/MAR_C_60_1912_1_201601_kly25_dc2.jpg 1 height pixels 864 width pixels 1024 1742598182949 1 image jpeg aa/aa35/mid_MAR_C_60_1912_1_201601_kly25_dc2.jpg 1 height pixels 422 width pixels 500 1742598182949 1 image jpeg aa/aa35/MAR_C_60_1912_1_201601_kly25_dc2.jpg 1 height pixels 864 width pixels 1024 1742598182949 1 image jpeg aa/aa35/preview_MAR_C_60_1912_1_201601_kly25_dc2.jpg 1 height pixels 211 width pixels 250 1742598182949 1 image 0 media image reference media-200526 adlib-media-200526 d7a78626-3465-33d8-9291-6cb4884cb139 jpeg aa/aa35/MAR_C_60_1912_2_201601_kly25_dc2.jpg 1 height pixels 866 width pixels 1024 1742598129254 1 image jpeg aa/aa35/mid_MAR_C_60_1912_2_201601_kly25_dc2.jpg 1 height pixels 423 width pixels 500 1742598129254 1 image jpeg aa/aa35/MAR_C_60_1912_2_201601_kly25_dc2.jpg 1 height pixels 866 width pixels 1024 1742598129254 1 image jpeg aa/aa35/preview_MAR_C_60_1912_2_201601_kly25_dc2.jpg 1 height pixels 211 width pixels 249 1742598129254 1 image 1 media image reference media-3375985879 portfolio portfolio-media-3375985879 2e209cc4-1c14-30b0-8fab-72408233e5dd jpeg portfolio/F25982D9_7CB9_CFFF_028E_8BBFC531887C/469/289/large_MAR_C_60_1912_1_201601_kly25_mas.jpg 1 height pixels 864 width pixels 1024 1529290661000 1 image jpeg portfolio/F25982D9_7CB9_CFFF_028E_8BBFC531887C/469/289/mid_MAR_C_60_1912_1_201601_kly25_mas.jpg 1 height pixels 422 width pixels 500 1529290661000 1 image MAR.C.60-1912_1_201601_kly25_mas.tif 1529290661000 1 1 image jpeg portfolio/F25982D9_7CB9_CFFF_028E_8BBFC531887C/469/289/preview_MAR_C_60_1912_1_201601_kly25_mas.jpg 1 height pixels 211 width pixels 250 1529290661000 1 image pyramid tiff portfolio/F25982D9_7CB9_CFFF_028E_8BBFC531887C/469/289/MAR_C_60_1912_1_201601_kly25_mas.ptif 1 height pixels 4730 width pixels 5608 1529290661000 1 image 2 media image reference media-1523807972 portfolio portfolio-media-1523807972 3d4066e5-7744-3e67-903f-fb4af3812be9 jpeg portfolio/F25982D9_7CB9_CFFF_028E_8BBFC531887C/628/121/large_MAR_C_60_1912_1_201601_kly25_dc1.jpg 1 height pixels 934 width pixels 1024 1550049312000 1 image jpeg portfolio/F25982D9_7CB9_CFFF_028E_8BBFC531887C/628/121/mid_MAR_C_60_1912_1_201601_kly25_dc1.jpg 1 height pixels 456 width pixels 500 1550049312000 1 image MAR.C.60-1912_1_201601_kly25_dc1.jpg 1550049312000 1 image jpeg portfolio/F25982D9_7CB9_CFFF_028E_8BBFC531887C/628/121/preview_MAR_C_60_1912_1_201601_kly25_dc1.jpg 1 height pixels 228 width pixels 250 1550049312000 1 image pyramid tiff portfolio/F25982D9_7CB9_CFFF_028E_8BBFC531887C/628/121/MAR_C_60_1912_1_201601_kly25_dc1.ptif 1 height pixels 3543 width pixels 3883 1550049312000 1 image 3 media image reference media-3602246331 portfolio portfolio-media-3602246331 7b399ecc-8c17-3f79-bb31-6266ebe86b56 jpeg portfolio/F25982D9_7CB9_CFFF_028E_8BBFC531887C/641/868/large_MAR_C_60_1912_2_201601_kly25_mas.jpg 1 height pixels 866 width pixels 1023 1554768771000 1 image jpeg portfolio/F25982D9_7CB9_CFFF_028E_8BBFC531887C/641/868/mid_MAR_C_60_1912_2_201601_kly25_mas.jpg 1 height pixels 423 width pixels 500 1554768771000 1 image MAR.C.60-1912_2_201601_kly25_mas.tif 1554768771000 1 1 image jpeg portfolio/F25982D9_7CB9_CFFF_028E_8BBFC531887C/641/868/preview_MAR_C_60_1912_2_201601_kly25_mas.jpg 1 height pixels 212 width pixels 250 1554768771000 1 image pyramid tiff portfolio/F25982D9_7CB9_CFFF_028E_8BBFC531887C/641/868/MAR_C_60_1912_2_201601_kly25_mas.ptif 1 height pixels 4872 width pixels 5758 1554768771000 1 image 4 media image reference term-107478 adlib-term-107478 81002e74-5083-37b8-a429-4a303fc40695 cover cover from an accouchement set bowl tagliere history note Signora Angela Beni, San Severino (Marche); given by her to Giuseppe Ranaldi (1790-1854).
