Its attraction lay primarily in the high quality and whiteness of its glaze. When painted decoration was added, it was executed mainly in blue, yellow, and orange, sometimes with green, and rarely with a little red. This deep fluted bowl illustrates two of the most characteristic types of decoration on Faenza white ware. Its central roundel is painted in compendiario (sketchy or summary) style and its sides with radiating panels a ricamo (resembling embroidery). Bowls of this form were made from at least the early 1560s. An example with different decoration in the Hermitage at St Petersburg is inscribed 'in Faienca'1563'. Bowls and basins (bacini or catini) are mentioned in sixteenth-century inventories of Fenza services, and it therefore seems likely that they were used with a ewer for hand-washing or perhaps for rinsing fruit at table. A water cistern for cooling bottles was usually described as a rinfrescatoio. On the basis of initialled or signed pieces, bowls comparable to this one have been attributed to the workshop of Virgiliotto Calamelli (d. c. 1570) and to his successor Leonardo di Antonio Bettisi, alias 'Don Pino' , who leased the workshop form Virgiliotto's widow in 1570. During the latter part of his life, Leonardo was assisted by his son, Antonio, who took over the workshop on his father's death, probably before 1589. Two documents of 1581 indicate that the two were sometimes referred to jointly as the 'Don Pini'. The Fitzwilliam's bowl is attributed to Leonardo on the basis of two others signed 'DOPI' and 'DO.PI', respectively in the Silesian Museum Opava, and an Italian private collection. The latter cannot have been made before 1571 because it bears the arms of Girolamo di Antonio Michelozzi and Caterina di Braccio Alberti, who were married in that year. A fragment of a bowl centre signed 'DO.PI', and two comparable unsigned bowls are in the International Ceramic Museum at Faenza (nos. 7429, 9832 and 10607). reference term-106402 adlib-term-106402 7466a5d6-293f-3bbc-9672-fa9dd41712be 16th Century, Late reference term-108597 adlib-term-108597 3730ea9f-6a64-338b-bdbd-0662bf55b8d2 literal Italy Italy country Faenza 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 33.5 Height cm 12.2 reference media-39335 adlib-media-39335 63b5278b-6c0c-3fdf-bd5b-4a92775619e3 jpeg aa/aa9/C_2188_1928_281_29.jpg 1 height pixels 740 width pixels 570 1702926768457 1 image jpeg aa/aa9/mid_C_2188_1928_281_29.jpg 1 height pixels 649 width pixels 500 1702926768457 1 image jpeg aa/aa9/C_2188_1928_281_29.jpg 1 height pixels 740 width pixels 570 1702926768457 1 image jpeg aa/aa9/preview_C_2188_1928_281_29.jpg 1 height pixels 325 width pixels 250 1702926768457 1 image 0 media image reference media-39336 adlib-media-39336 8ab35c39-02c6-358e-9ebc-d7d17d494daf jpeg aa/aa9/C_2188_1928_282_29.jpg 1 height pixels 740 width pixels 570 1702926542185 1 image jpeg aa/aa9/mid_C_2188_1928_282_29.jpg 1 height pixels 649 width pixels 500 1702926542185 1 image jpeg aa/aa9/C_2188_1928_282_29.jpg 1 height pixels 740 width pixels 570 1702926542185 1 image jpeg aa/aa9/preview_C_2188_1928_282_29.jpg 1 height pixels 325 width pixels 250 1702926542185 1 image 1 media image reference media-39337 adlib-media-39337 5d07bfe2-44fb-33d9-930e-46149c67fe41 jpeg aa/aa9/C_2188_1928_283_29.jpg 1 height pixels 550 width pixels 760 1702926770587 1 image jpeg aa/aa9/mid_C_2188_1928_283_29.jpg 1 height pixels 362 width pixels 500 1702926770587 1 image jpeg aa/aa9/C_2188_1928_283_29.jpg 1 height pixels 550 width pixels 760 1702926770587 1 image jpeg aa/aa9/preview_C_2188_1928_283_29.jpg 1 height pixels 181 width pixels 250 1702926770587 1 image 2 media image reference media-39338 adlib-media-39338 f5eb7e04-f206-397c-99ba-61772edd90ee jpeg aa/aa19/C_2188_1928_284_29.jpg 1 height pixels 760 width pixels 705 1702926692141 1 image jpeg aa/aa19/mid_C_2188_1928_284_29.jpg 1 height pixels 539 width pixels 500 1702926692141 1 image jpeg aa/aa19/C_2188_1928_284_29.jpg 1 height pixels 760 width pixels 705 1702926692141 1 image jpeg aa/aa19/preview_C_2188_1928_284_29.jpg 1 height pixels 270 width pixels 250 1702926692141 1 image 3 media image reference term-107667 adlib-term-107667 1b81c806-cfb7-3291-9803-525db5f75e09 bowl deep bowl on low foot rinfrescatoio history note Unknown before Dr J.W.L.
