Guido Durantino, originally from Castel Durante, was known to have run one of the largest maiolica workshops in Urbino employing many of the best painters in the city, especially for istoriato. By 1541 he and his son had adopted the surname "Fontana". For further details and further pieces attributed to the workshop, see T. Wilson, Maiolica, Italian Renaissance Ceramics in the Metropolitan Museum of Art (2016), nos. 63, 67 and 68.
