Due boccali Italia centrale (Marche?), prima metà del XVI secolo e Romagna (Faenza?), seconda metà del XVI secolo,

Majolica painted with fire colours. Height 18.5 cm; 17 cm. Conservation: jug "IHS" in good condition, integrated bottom; jug with marine scene: mouth, part of the neck and handle integrated jugs with ovoid belly and trilobed mouth, with ribbon handle One is decorated with the IHS of Christ, of San Bernardino, in a frontal oval surrounded by a "ladder-like" ring frame and free "swallow-tailed" brushstrokes. The ornament is drawn in cobalt blue with the addition, in the frontal reserve, of a light green band, of orange underlines of the trigram and with a blue circle in the centre The other is decorated with a grid of diagonals with blue foliate tufts, which - under the spout - frames a large port scene in which a tower and masts of sailing ships are represented with rapid brushstrokes Several jugs of this type, of Faentine origin, are widespread in the production of the Romagna and Marche workshops, including Pesaro. Several belong to the Museum of Torgiano. (Cf. C. Fiocco, G. Gherardi, Museo del vino di Torgiano - Ceramiche, Perugia 1991, pp. 105-106, nos. 144-147). Ours shows the port scene with the tower and the grill, made in a very cursive formula
