Trilobed vessel with Two Lovers in a Landscape ca. 1540–45 Italian, perhaps Urbino with Urbino or Gubbio luster The sheer variety of maiolica forms associated with dining suggests that each type served a specialized function, which in the case of this small footed dish remains unknown.

Its decoration clearly distinguishes between the interior and exterior surfaces, with an oak-tree design on the outside, and within, a pair of lovers embracing in a sunset Trilobed vessel with Two Lo
