Lot Essay

See Arthur Lane, Italian Porcelain, London, 1954, pl. 44 for a teapot and cover with similar decoration to the present example and p. 34 where the author states that this style of decoration, painted with the aid of stencils was unique to Doccia. A related but slightly later plate was sold by Christie's Geneva on 17 November 1980, lot 20.
