Chevrette de sirop en majolique d'Anvers du début, bleu et blanc et jaune, décor "sgraffiato", 1540-1580

An exceedingly rare type of Antwerp maiolica jug, this example stands out of the more known "a foglie" type like the lot before. The decoration on the penultimate blue scroll is applied in sgraffiato technique, a clear indication of early manufacture. The backside of the scrolls on which the supposed contents are noted, is enhanced by yellow painting.

Provenance: An important Flemish collection.
