Summary[edit]

Description
Britain Loves Wikipedia at the Victoria and Albert Museum
Dish with a couple and an inscription
English: Tazza

Tin-glazed earthenware (maiolica)
Italy, Deruta
About 1550
Workshop of Giacomo Mancini, known as El Frate(active about 1540-55)

The dish was possibly a betrothal gift. As the man caresses the woman, he offers her a flower as a symbol of love. His fingers seem to rest intimately on her bodice. Both imagery and inscription signal the physical relationship that the new couple will share. The Latin inscription reads 'It is sweet to love'.
