They were produced throughout the first half of the sixteenth century, and lustred examples survive in great numbers. Very few can be dated, even approximately with certainty. One of the earliest, in the British Museum, is decorated on the boss with the arms of a Montefeltro Duke of Urbino and was presumably made before 1508 when Francesco della Rovere succeeded to the dukedom. another basin at the Musée de la Renaissance at Ecouen, bears the arms for one or other of the Medici Popes, Leo X (1513-21) or Clement VII (1523-34). Many of these basins are decor¬ated in the centre with a woman demurely facing to right or left towards a flowering plant, surrounded by a selec¬tion of stock patterns on the sides and rim, such as mock gadroons, scales, pointed rays and sty¬lized plants, wreaths of formal flowers and geometrical motifs. On some basins the flowers in front of the girls resemble pinks, which, like carnations, were symbols of love, so it seems likely that these were betrothal or wedding gifts, although not necessarily so. In the late fourteenth century, Margherita, the wife of the merchant, Francesco Datini of Prato (d. 1410), was asked to take 'a bowl and an ewer, such as is customary to give to girls' to the birthday party of one of her friend's daughters. At that time the ewer and basin would almost certainly have been metal, but it seems probable that, if this custom persisted maiolica would have been acceptable. A maiolica basin in an Italian private collection has the girl's name GIROLEMA painted across the boss. It is difficult to date these basins other than by matching the borders with datable pieces of other types, or by the costume of the girls in the central medallion, which, because of the conservatism of Deruta decorators, is probably not very accurate. Nevertheless, it seems significant that the Louvre's relief moulded basin dated 1546, and another undated in the Lehman collection at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, feature girls wearing a different style of dress and turban-like caps. This fashion can be seen in portraits of the 1520s, and on bella donna dishes of the 1530s and early 1540s. It therefore seems likely that basins like this example and C.84-1961, which feature a Peruginesque girl, were likely to have been made before about 1530.
