Workshop of Carlo Giuseppe Rampini
1680-1700
Decorated in blue and manganese on a white tin glaze and moulded in relief. The centre with cavalrymen in battle, with a raised floral border in the manner of repoussé silver set against a manganese ground. This is one of the most spectacular of the moulded Pavia designs and striking for the thinness of the potting.
The central scene derives from a print by Giacomo Cotta after Giovanni Stefano Montalto produced in 1651.
We know of two other examples of the same mould decorated in blue without the use of manganese. One marked CGR, the monogram of Carlo Guiseppe Rampini, to the reverse in The Courtauld Gallery (O.1966.GP.109), and another unmarked in the Museo Civico Ala Ponzone, Cremona (inv. F 164).

This type was once attributed to Angorano in the Veneto, however in 1993 Elena Pelinozzoni announced the discovery of archaeological evidence placing them in Pavia. As well as the archaeological evidence, the post-mortem inventory of Rampini refers dishes decorated with ‘archiettura con figura’ which refers to the related group also sometimes marked with the CGR monogram of the Rampini workshop (see Thornton/Wilson for a more detailed discussion). Other pieces can also be found with a combination of the moulded and architectural decoration.
