It is not known which member of the Strozzi family commissioned this lot. In the middle of the 15th century Niccolò di Leonardo Strozzi’s bank was based in Valencia, making him a very likely candidate, but at the time the Strozzi family were the most prominent and wealthy Florentine family after the Medici, and a number of its members had connections with Valencia, making it impossible to be identify which member of the family is most likely to have commissioned this charger.
There are various inaccuracies with the coloring of the Strozzi arms, which arise from the limited group of colors available to the Moorish potters at the time. The horizonal bar with three crescents argent should be gules (red) and the crescents should be argent (silver), but the crescents are lustred and the bar colored in manganese. The artist was unclear as to which way the arms should be oriented, as the ends of the crescents should face upwards, not downwards.
