About this work
This blue monochrome albarello is decorated with cobalt blue vines and leaves. The escroll in the center of the container is inscribed with gothic script that reads <i>Uo rosado.</i> This jar would have contained Unguento Rosado, an ointment made from lard and roses that served to alleviate skin sores and kidney pain.
