In the background there are buildings close to the shore with mountains beyond. Above, five putti holding foliage play amid clouds. The rim is yellow and orange. On the outside, each lobe is decorated with rocks and buildings in a landscape. The lion's feet base, scrolls and mask-handles are coloured yellow and orange.

They were made in Urbino for probably over half a century. None of the examples with istoriato decoration are dated, but on stylistic grounds they appear to have been introduced in the late 1540s or early 1550s. The latest dated example, in the British Museum, is decorated with grotesques, and was made in the workshop of Francesco Patanazzi in 1608. This cistern was probably made in the workshop of Guido Durantino (Fontana) and his son Orazio, or if made between 1565-70 possibly in Orazio Fontana's workshop. The decoration of trilobate cisterns with marine deities, nereids and tritons frolicking in the sea was appropriate for their function as containers for water. These lively designs were inspired by Marcantonio Raimondi's engraving of the Triumph of Galatea after Raphael's fresco in the Villa Farnese in Rome, although, only one of the extant examples, in the Wallace Collection, is decorated internally with a close copy of it. The others have variants, identified as either the Triumph of Galatea or Amphitrite, who is sometimes accompanied by Neptune. In the upper part of the scenes there are usually putti, holding bows as they do in the print, or wreaths. The demand for such scenes might also have been fostered by Vasari's fresco of 'Water' in the Palazzo Vecchio in Florence, but the fashion for marine fantasies in the second half of the century was an aspect of the Mannerist style which can be paralleled in metalwork in Italy and elsewhere in Europe. The exterior of the cisterns are usually decorated on the lobes with landscapes, and they stand a central support with three massive lion's paw feet. reference term-106602 adlib-term-106602 bbb4c00f-eefa-3d64-9441-7a75aa07736e 16th Century 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 Marche 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 Depth cm 49.5 Height cm 23.3 Width cm 48.5 reference media-34961 adlib-media-34961 9bead87b-2e7f-3ff0-be65-7da38db63641 jpeg aa/aa11/C_1_1964_281_29.jpg 1 height pixels 394 width pixels 760 1702926317457 1 image jpeg aa/aa11/mid_C_1_1964_281_29.jpg 1 height pixels 259 width pixels 500 1702926317457 1 image jpeg aa/aa11/C_1_1964_281_29.jpg 1 height pixels 394 width pixels 760 1702926317457 1 image jpeg aa/aa11/preview_C_1_1964_281_29.jpg 1 height pixels 130 width pixels 250 1702926317457 1 image 0 media image reference media-34962 adlib-media-34962 9a2ecc16-e363-3c18-86e8-f4e2dfeb317e jpeg aa/aa11/C_1_1964_282_29.jpg 1 height pixels 402 width pixels 760 1702926438272 1 image jpeg aa/aa11/mid_C_1_1964_282_29.jpg 1 height pixels 264 width pixels 499 1702926438272 1 image jpeg aa/aa11/C_1_1964_282_29.jpg 1 height pixels 402 width pixels 760 1702926438272 1 image jpeg aa/aa11/preview_C_1_1964_282_29.jpg 1 height pixels 132 width pixels 250 1702926438272 1 image 1 media image reference media-34963 adlib-media-34963 f65a441d-def3-3997-a9dd-6de41f69f55b jpeg aa/aa11/C_1_1964_283_29.jpg 1 height pixels 419 width pixels 760 1702926734234 1 image jpeg aa/aa11/mid_C_1_1964_283_29.jpg 1 height pixels 276 width pixels 500 1702926734234 1 image jpeg aa/aa11/C_1_1964_283_29.jpg 1 height pixels 419 width pixels 760 1702926734234 1 image jpeg aa/aa11/preview_C_1_1964_283_29.jpg 1 height pixels 138 width pixels 250 1702926734234 1 image 2 media image reference media-34964 adlib-media-34964 1e847cfa-3136-336e-9138-ee038b22bd78 jpeg aa/aa11/C_1_1964_284_29.jpg 1 height pixels 440 width pixels 760 1702926737335 1 image jpeg aa/aa11/mid_C_1_1964_284_29.jpg 1 height pixels 289 width pixels 499 1702926737335 1 image jpeg aa/aa11/C_1_1964_284_29.jpg 1 height pixels 440 width pixels 760 1702926737335 1 image jpeg aa/aa11/preview_C_1_1964_284_29.jpg 1 height pixels 145 width pixels 250 1702926737335 1 image 3 media image reference media-34965 adlib-media-34965 4d22915f-2672-30af-b6eb-ff29c3c3a811 jpeg aa/aa11/C_1_1964_285_29.jpg 1 height pixels 731 width pixels 760 1702926751471 1 image jpeg aa/aa11/mid_C_1_1964_285_29.jpg 1 height pixels 481 width pixels 500 1702926751471 1 image jpeg aa/aa11/C_1_1964_285_29.jpg 1 height pixels 731 width pixels 760 1702926751471 1 image jpeg aa/aa11/preview_C_1_1964_285_29.jpg 1 height pixels 240 width pixels 250 1702926751471 1 image 4 media image reference media-34966 adlib-media-34966 02325d0c-bd61-30e1-81e7-b13c1cdb82d3 jpeg aa/aa19/C_1_1964_286_29.jpg 1 height pixels 760 width pixels 743 1702926609941 1 image jpeg aa/aa19/mid_C_1_1964_286_29.jpg 1 height pixels 511 width pixels 500 1702926609941 1 image jpeg aa/aa19/C_1_1964_286_29.jpg 1 height pixels 760 width pixels 743 1702926609941 1 image jpeg aa/aa19/preview_C_1_1964_286_29.jpg 1 height pixels 256 width pixels 250 1702926609941 1 image 5 media image reference media-34967 adlib-media-34967 7e08a867-897b-3533-b37e-d8aef01fc954 jpeg aa/aa19/C_1_1964_287_29.jpg 1 height pixels 492 width pixels 760 1702926565061 1 image jpeg aa/aa19/mid_C_1_1964_287_29.jpg 1 height pixels 324 width pixels 500 1702926565061 1 image jpeg aa/aa19/C_1_1964_287_29.jpg 1 height pixels 492 width pixels 760 1702926565061 1 image jpeg aa/aa19/preview_C_1_1964_287_29.jpg 1 height pixels 162 width pixels 250 1702926565061 1 image 6 media image reference term-44707 adlib-term-44707 82255e8a-fcea-3881-a4eb-5720c1910b4d cistern trilobate cistern history note Sir Otto Beit; Sir Alfred Beit; Sotheby's, 16 October 1942, Catalogue of important Italian majolica, the property of Sir Alfred Beit Bt, MP, lot 61; sold to Blairman £115.0.0.
