Albarello In Majolica Of Casteldurante Angelo E Ludovico Picchi 1562-63
Casteldurante majolica albarello from the workshop of Ludovico and Angelo Picchi, 1562–1563, with the Boerio coat of arms. This albarello is part of the best-documented pharmaceutical commission of the 16th century. The order was commissioned in 1562 from ceramists from Casteldurante by a Genoese merchant, Andrea Boerio, resident in Palermo, Sicily. Boerio ordered, in two successive contracts, several hundred albarellos and other storage vessels, carefully specifying their shapes, sizes, and decorations; some were to be historiated, others with trophies.
