This fine dish was made at the workshop in the outbuildings of the Medici villa at Cafaggiolo. Two potters from Montelupo, the brothers Piero and Stefano di Filippo di Dimitri Schiavone, moved there due to political events involving their Medici masters in 1498. It is thought that the SP monogram may signify their initials, although the SP monogram continued to be used after Piero’s death in 1507.
This piece is not by the painter who signed his pieces Jacopo or japo, and is instead by an anonymous painter. For a dish in the Victoria & Albert Museum with a related border, see Bernard Rackham, Catalogue of Italian Maiolica, London, 1940, Vol. II, pl. 52, no. 315.
