It is assumed that he worked in the family business in Venice until the deaths of Jacomo and his son Gasparo within a few months of each other in 1546 and then set up his own workshop. He was probably the 'domenego depentor over bochaler' (painter or potter) who was a beneficiary of the will, dated 22 December 1547, of a Venetian painter, Zouan Maria fu Giambattista della Giudecca. His documentary pieces range in date from 1562 to 1568/9 and two of them dated 1568 are signed as made in a workshop in the San Polo area. He probably died between 1568 and 1574, as his name does not appear in the register of deaths of the parish of San Polo which began in 1575, unless he moved elsewhere. His workshop produced dishes, and huge numbers of albarelli and bulbous storage jars, many of them decorated in a distinctive male or female busts enclosed by scrolled frames surrounded by foliage reserved in a blue ground. The unidentified coat-of-arms on this jar also appears on a spouted pharmacy jar formerly in the Spolvieri collection, a spouted pharmacy jar in the Musée Municipal, Laon, an albarello in the Musée national de Céramique, Sèvres (MNC 4642), and on a jar sold by Christie's London on 18 December 2006, lot 22 (see Documentation).referenceterm-125332adlib-term-12533276f10b5d-9bf4-36d4-b4e3-f4df05af826016th Century, third quarter#referenceterm-10618adlib-term-106189ebc0ae1-8cf8-312b-832c-9cf44da02136Renaissancereferenceterm-106518adlib-term-106518e3082340-b0d5-357a-ab15-283024f9bed7literalItalyItalycountryliteralThe VenetoThe VenetoregionVenicebase unglazedreferenceterm-39575adlib-term-39575cdf6707a-1eeb-3622-a26b-6e54f1f8d4abtin-glazereferenceterm-42861adlib-term-428615b368285-f1a8-3dcf-a5b2-637fd3c3956cearthenwareDiametercm37.6Heightcm36.2referencemedia-40166adlib-media-40166d01b78a6-19d4-31e2-a9ae-85e4fd2696d6jpegaa/aa5/C_244_1991_281_29.jpg1heightpixels740widthpixels57016162788650231imagejpegaa/aa5/mid_C_244_1991_281_29.jpg1heightpixels649widthpixels50016162788650231imagejpegaa/aa5/C_244_1991_281_29.jpg1heightpixels740widthpixels57016162788650231imagejpegaa/aa5/preview_C_244_1991_281_29.jpg1heightpixels325widthpixels25016162788650231image0media
