Tile

ca. 1530
Not on view
This tile’s ornament is similar to that found on a pair of maiolica storage jars in the Museum's collection (41.100.271, .272). The painted decoration can be compared with tiles made in the 1530s in the Antwerp workshop of the Italian-born Guido Andries (Guido di Luca Savini, or Guido di Savino), who came from Castel Durante and settled in Antwerp about 1508.
