[1] It is possible that this is the plate from the Castellani collection, described in the sale catalogue (Paris, 27-29 May 1878, no. 145) as 42 cm. in diameter and as having "au centre, large écusson portant les armes du pape Léon X et deux cornes d'abondance. Au marli palmettes et ornements varié. (Pesaro.);" however, the description of the border of the Castellani piece in Catalogue of the Castellani Collection in the Loan Exhibition of The Metropolitan Museum of Art (New York, 1877), no. 2, "Maiolica &c," no. 145, as "scale decoration and flowers" does not seem to correspond to the National Gallery piece.
