Wilson, Italian Maiolica of the Renaissance, Milan 1996, card 145, p. 148): more generally, ibid. pp. 358-263, cards 145-148. For a similarly decorated albarello with the Archangel motif look at the one in the Bayer Collection (G. Biscontini Ugolini, I vasi da farmacia nella collezione Bayer, Pisa 1997, p. 88, card 22).
