Ewers in novelty forms may have been used on the table, or may have simply been appreciated as collectible, suitable for a Renaissance Kunstkammer (cabinet of art) or Wunderkammer (cabinet of wonders). As Timothy Wilson noted, ‘cleverly made and amusing objects like the present one may in some degree be compared with the natural and artificial wonders being assembled at the same date north of the Alps, especially by Habsburg princes such as Emperor Rudolf II at Prague’. See Timothy Wilson, Maiolica, Italian Renaissance Ceramics in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, 2016, p. 306.

An ewer in the form of a dragon is in the Metropolitan Museum, New York (see Wilson, ibid., pp. 306-307, no. 108.) For a model of a harpy attributed to the Patanazzi workshop, see Giuliana Gardelli, “A Gran Fuoco”, Mostra di Maioliche rinascimentali dello Stato di Urbino da Collezioni Private, Palazzo Ducale, Urbino, July – September 1987 Exhibition Catalogue, Urbino, 1987, pp. 144-145, no. 61.
