These are typically described as a ceiling tiles done after those by the Castelli factory for the Church of San Donato. It is well rendered and in very good condition considering age. Normal surface wear, patina, small losses at edges, factory firing inclusions, etc. Please see all photos for condition. A wonderful addition to your early maiolica collection! 12.5” x 6.25” Ships well packed and fully insured!!!!
