Acquired before 1968. C.F. Maino collection, Medrisio, Switzerland, by descent. With Galerie Ostracon, Thalwil, Switzerland. Private Atralian collection. Apanied by a certificate of authenticity from Ostracon Gallery, Thalwil, Switzerland. Apanied by a copy of the previo collector's cataloguing document. This plate belongs to the so-called Genucilia ware, which consists of a large number of plates on a low foot and without handles. Etrcan Genucilia ware was first classified by Sir John Beazley in his work Etrcan Vase Painting (Oxford, 1947"). The name applied to the plates is derived from an example with a female head bearing a dipinto under the foot. This ware has been found in large quantities throughout Latium and Etruria particularly in Caere, Falerii and Rome, and frequently found both in tombs, votive deposits, and buildings related to workshops and sanctuaries, as well as domestic contexts.For this specific lot, 5% import VAT is applicable on the hammer price
