Dish with the Calumny of Apelles and the arms of the Ridolfi family Dish with an allegory of the Slander and the arms of the Florentine family Ridolfi, Round dish of multi-colored painted majolica, painted with an allegory of the Slander to Apelles. A naked, handcuffed man is lying on his knees in front of a judge's seat. The naked young man depicts the Innocence, which is being dragged in court. The judge has donkey ears, a sign of stupidity. The Ignorance, which stands next to the throne, obscures him through the white cloth. The woman with the torch, behind the young man, introduces the Slander: she slanders the innocent young man. The Naked Truth is at the end, but nobody listens to her words. The border around the show consists of grotesques: a succession of curls, fish, monster heads and masks, between which cartouches with inscriptions. In the center is the arms of the Florentine Ridolfi, Calumny or Apelles family: bad judge with ass's ears on throne, with Deceit, Envy, Ignorance, Suspicion and Treachery, confronted with innocent accused, Remorse and Truth present, Nicolá da Urbino (attributed to), Urbino, c. 1520 - c. 1525, earthenware, tin glaze, lead glaze, h 6.6 cm × d 53.4 cm
