Italian earthenware dish (Castelli, Grüe's workshop) from the middle of the 17th century. With blue, green, ochre and manganese decoration, in the centre of a scene with an animal fight in an architectural landscape, the wing of coat of arms in a cartouche surmounted by a helmet and large flowered arabesques with putti, blue net on the edge, restored crack, small shock, spalling. D.: 41.5 cm For a dish with a similar border but without a coat of arms, see by Luciana Arbace, Maioliche di Castelli, La Raccolta Acerbo, Ferrara, 1993, p. 37; for another in the same spirit with a similar central scene, see by Fiocco-Gherhardi-Matricardi, Capolavori della maiolica castellana dal cinquecento al terzo fuoco, La Collezione Matricardi, Turin, 2012, p. 111. The scene is inspired by a work by Joannes Stradanus, engraved by Philips Galle for the publication Incontri di caccia, published in 1578 for Como de Medici, Grand Duke of Tuscany.
