Ceramics Collection

The core of the Bagatti Valsecchi ceramics is predominantly composed of five to seventeenth-century artifacts, although later works are not lacking. Many production centers are represented in a kind of mapping of the main Italian manufactures, including Venice, Pavia, Ferrara, Faenza, Pisa, Montelupo, Urbino, Casteldurante, Pesaro, Deruta, as well as Rome, Gerace, Trapani, Burgio. Numerous ceramics come from sets of ancient pharmacies dismantled in the course of the 19th century. In contrast to the Italian character of the collection, an exception is a group of lusterware dating from the fifteenth to the seventeenth century attributed to Valencia and Manises.
