Maiolica dish

Italian

Maiolica dish depicting the Last Supper. This dish is particularly significant and rare by virtue of its enormous size, representing what seems to have been a fashion in the fifteen-nineties for very large dishes, which must have been virtuoso achievements of pottery and firing.
