A TURIN MAIOLICA CENTREPIECE, CIRCA 1740; WORN, RESTORATIONS
Two maiolica pieces en suite with ours, formerly in the Rey collection, are published by Brosio in 1973 (op. cit., table XXXI), another, in white and blue and of the same mould (although slightly smaller in size) is now in the collections of Palazzo Madama in Turin (inv. gen. 2124). Decorated with a siege scene, it bears an uncertain date between the Lodi and Turin periods of the manufacture.
