Renaissance Maiolica Portrait Charger Made in Deruta, Italy, circa 1530

About the Item

Why we love it: It's rare, beautiful, and typifies Renaissance, Italy. We are thrilled to offer this Renaissance portrait charger. "Ladreana" is a young woman, hand painted in profile with high forehead and blond hair. In the Italian Renaissance these features formed the idealized vision of feminine beauty. She is shown in half-length profile with her name prominently inscribed on a banner. The earth tone colors found in her dress and again in the border add a particular Renaissance beauty to the charger. Made of Maiolica (tin glazed earthenware) in the first half of the 16th century circa 1530, this charger is painted primarily in two tones of orange and light blue with details of yellow and green in Ladreana's hair, and cap, and in the leaves on the wide border. In the style of 16th century Italy our charger has a slightly raised rim, and a small footring. The back is lead glazed and the front is tin-glazed. Condition: The back of the charger shows burn marks and flaking from over firing during the making (see image #8). The front of the charger has some invisible restoration to painted areas and some wear, bubbling, and flaking to the enamels (see images). The edge has small chips (see images). Large decorative dishes like this one were known at the time as piatti da pompa. They were a specialty of Deruta potters. Like our charger the traditional Deruta model often shows a young woman in profile.
