Vintage Pottery Bowls

Beautiful Hispano Moresque large bowl with classic griffin depicted in the center, surrounded by scrolling copper designs and a blue band below the edge. I believe this is a revival piece from the 1920s. Gorgeous and dramatic piece! A little information on the history of Hispano Moresque : This is one of the first pieces I have come across, and it was very exciting to learn about a new and beautiful type of ceramic art! Tin-glazed, lustered earthenware made by Moorish potters in Spain, chiefly at Malaga in the 15th century, and in the region of Manises, near Valencia, in the 16th century. The tin glaze was applied over a design usually traced in cobalt blue; after the first firing, the lustre, a metallic pigment, was applied by brush over the tin glaze, and the piece was fired again. The effect varies from a pale yellow iridescence in early pieces to a coarser, copperish iridescence in late work. Early designs are Islamic: the. Palm motifs, and Arabic inscriptions, for example. Later designs combine Islamic and Italian Renaissance motifs. Misspelled or intentionally illegible Arabic inscriptions indicate that the work was taken over by Spanish Christian craftsmen. Imitation of this p. In Italy led to the development of Italian majolica ware.
