The Montauri Birth Tray, also known as a "desco da parto," is a painted wooden tray attributed to the Italian Renaissance artist Bartolomeo di Fruosino. Created around 1428-1430, this historically significant piece was intended as a celebratory gift for the birth of a child in the prominent Montauri family of Florence. Birth trays were a common tradition in Florence during the Renaissance, serving both as practical items for new mothers to receive meals and as decorative pieces to commemorate the significant event of childbirth.

Bartolomeo di Fruosino, active in the early 15th century, was known for his detailed and delicate work, often incorporating themes from classical mythology and contemporary Florentine life into his art. The Montauri Birth Tray is a prime example of his craftsmanship and the cultural practices of the time. The tray typically features intricate designs and iconography that may include allegorical figures, religious motifs, or scenes of domestic joy, reflecting the societal values and artistic trends of the period.

The Montauri Birth Tray is an important artifact for understanding domestic life and material culture in Renaissance Florence. It provides insight into the customs surrounding childbirth and the role of art in private and family life. As a work of art, it also contributes to the broader understanding of the development of painting techniques and styles in early Renaissance Italy. The tray is a testament to the skill of Bartolomeo di Fruosino and the rich tradition of decorative arts during this influential era in European history.
