Footnotes

  • The attribution of these plates and dishes is much discussed. There are similar examples but monogrammed on the back that have been attributed to the Manardi factory in Bassano, but there has been no archaeological or archival evidence for this. See Julia E. Poole, Italian Maiolica (1995), pp. 493-496.
