Italian Ceramics: Catalogue of the J. Paul Getty Museum Collection

(Nancy Kaufman) #1

  1. Lane 1946, 251-52.

  2. See, for example, a drug jar in the Museo Internationale delle Ce-
    ramiche, Faenza, dated to the second quarter of the fifteenth century
    (Conti et al. 1991, no. 16), and a plaque of the second half of the
    fifteenth century (Ravanelli Guidotti 1998, fig. n).

  3. De Arechaga Rodriguez-Pascual and Manglano Baldovi 1985 (cited in
    Ray 2000, 77).

  4. See, for example, Frothingham 1936, 158; Frothingham 1951, 139;
    Martinez Caviro 19 91, 158.

  5. In contemporary Italian inventories, this decoration is referred to as
    fiordalisi [fioralixi) normally translated as fleurs-de-lis but also fre­
    quently used to identify small carnations (Spallanzani 1986, 164-70).
    Indeed, since these inventories were concerned with listing works so
    that they could be readily identified, it is possible that a common and
    easily recognizable flower such as the carnation might have been used
    to describe this decoration.

    ceramics might have influenced the appearance of fifteenth-century
    Tuscan wares, see Alinari and Berti 1991, 47-5^; Valeri 1996, 128-32.
