Trilobed vessel with Two Lovers in a Landscape
Italian, perhaps Urbino with Urbino or Gubbio luster

The sheer variety of maiolica forms associated with dining suggests that each type served a specialized function, which in the case of this small footed dish remains unknown. Its shape indicates that it may have been intended as a serving vessel for salt or another condiment. Its decoration clearly distinguishes between the interior and exterior surfaces, with an oak-tree design on the outside, and within, a pair of lovers embracing in a sunset landscape.
