Thick, round glazed Montelupo earthenware dish, painted on the upper surface with two figures from the Comedia dell'Arte, Columbine on the left in a striped dress with a handkerchief, facing Brighella, Pantalone's servant, wearing a mask and in striped pantaloons. The inscription in the sky is part of the dialogue, which translates as: 'Oh! My life! I am dying tonight! [...] at my house.'
