Catalogue Note
Un plat en vermeil au poinçon de Saragosse vers 1500 est illustré dans l'ouvrage de Cristina Esteras Martin, La plateria de la coleccion Varez Fisa, p.33. Il présente une frise de tressage identique à celle de l'ombilic de notre plat. Au même motif, dans la collection Alorda Derksen, figure, daté vers 1525, un plat au poinçon de Valladolid ou Saragosse (p. 68).
