Pair of ointment containers, Savona, in good condition, dating back to the 18th century. In 1641 the Genoese Senate granted to the Grosso factory in Albisola the privilege of marking the ceramics with the symbol of the lighthouse of Genoa, the lantern. Between the end of the seventeenth and the beginning of the eighteenth century, again with the permission of the Genoese Senate, the lantern became the symbol of the Chiodo-Peirano, society of Savona. The Chiodos, after 1738, who remained the sole owners of the factory, continued to mark their ceramics with the lantern until 1782, the year of the transfer of the factory to the company Pittamiglio-Astengo-Carlevarino, which in turn gave up the business in 1786.
