Italian Renaissance Albarello, Sciacca C. 1600
Sicilian and a bit earlier than usual, a particularly nice dry drug jar of portrait type. Unknown person in contemporary dress, the reverse with elaborate cypher or arms. With sturdy form and the full range of colors which are bright and bold, a fine example. At 10" high, as shown, it has a shallow section of pottery and glaze chipped off at its rim top, not seen from a side view, otherwise in very fine condition. Circa 1590-1610
