Each of footed baluster form, the twin animal-head handles with grotesque mask terminals, the lower parts each moulded with a grotesque mask spout above the flared foot, each painted in blue, one with the three Fates drawing thread from a spindle amongst clouds, the other with three mythological figures amongst clouds, the reverse of each with a Goddess, perhaps Minerva, accompanied by Cupid amongst foliage and distant mountains, the feet and shoulders with vignettes of buildings in landscapes (one with restored foot, both with minor chips and glaze flaking)

See Julia E. Poole, Italian maiolica and incised slipware in the Fitzwilliam Museum, Cambridge, Cambridge, 1995, p. 484, for an albarello similarly marked with a lantern mark, and where the author notes that the lighthouse mark 'was used by the Grosso of Albisola from 1641, by the Chiodo and Peirano from 1698 until 1738, and by Chiodo alone from then until 1782'. A wet drug-jar of the same form is illustrated by Giuseppe Morazzoni, La Maiolica Antica Ligure, Milan, 1951, pl. 27. Another example, painted with a very similar composition of three figures as those on the present lot is illustrated by Rudolf E.A. Drey, Apothecary Jars, London, 1978, p. 71, pl. 31D.
