Commentary

First published in De Marinis 1986: 75, no. 6.

Images in Gambari & Colonna 1988: 162, fig. 25 (drawing = Lejeune 1990: 70 = De Marinis & Motta 1991: 215, fig. 10), Morandi 1999: 182 (drawing = Morandi 2004: 628, fig. 20.148) and tav. XVI.1 (photo = Morandi 2004: 799, tav. XXII.148).

Inscribed in tall, slender letters on the inside of the bowl; damaged by breaks, but unambiguous. Unlike the other attestations of plioiso, written after firing, hence unclear relation to the putative workman's signature (see Lejeune 1990: 70 f., Morandi 1999: 182 f., no. 31). See also Gambari & Colonna 1988: 162, no. 7, Tibiletti Bruno 1990b: 107 f., De Marinis & Motta 1991: 214, no. 7.
