Two Lombardy maiolica dishes, second half of the 18th century, Probably Pavia, painted with scenes of ruins and figures in a mountain landscape with other buildings in the background, the back painted with plants in brown, 26 cm diameter, The attribution of these plates and dishes is much discussed. There are similar examples but monogrammed on the back that have been attributed to the Manardi factory in Bassano, but there has been no archaeological or archival evidence for this. See Julia E. Poole, Italian Maiolica (1995), pp. 493-496. Provenance: Collection of the late Arthur Lane, Keeper of the Department of Ceramics, Victoria and Albert Museum: 1950-1963. Thence by direct descent
