Ewer (Brocca) ca. 1575–87 Medici Porcelain Manufactory This small ewer reflects both the ambition and sophistication of the Medici porcelain workshop established during the late 1560s within the Casino di San Marco in Florence.[1] The Casino was constructed between 1568 and 1574 as a residence for Francesco I de’ Medici (1541–1587), and the building housed numerous workshops that produced luxury goods made from precious metals, rock crystal, richly colored hardstones, and glass for the Medici.[2] Decorative objects, such as vases, ewers, and standing cups made from exotic materials, were standard components of princely collections as well as gold mounts manufactured to enhance the luxurious aspect of these pieces.Porcelains imported from China were avidly acquired by royal and aristocratic collectors, and the Florentine workshop were the first to attempt production of this highly valued material in Europe. Documents indicate artificial porcelain was in production in the Casino workshops by 1575, and while technical challenges persisted throughout the small factory’s existence, the surviving examples of Medici porcelain demonstrate that the workshop’s potters produced both forms and types of decoration that consistently tested the limits of new technology.The potters worked in the Casino alongside other court artisans who produced objects in a variety of media, and documents from that period record Francesco’s keen interest in these various techniques and enterprises.[3] The Italian court designer and architect Bernardo Buontalenti (Italian, 1536–1608) appears to have guided Francesco’s taste and exerted both direct and indirect influence on the various court workshops, although his precise role in the production of Medici porcelain has not yet been determined.
