About the Item

A striking 19th-century Fajalauza lebrillo, originating from the historic ceramic tradition of Granada, in Andalusia, southern Spain. Fajalauza pottery takes its name from the historic Fajalauza Gate of Granada and represents one of the city’s most recognizable ceramic traditions. Its distinctive decorative language developed over centuries from the Hispano-Moresque ceramic heritage of the region, with freely painted vegetal motifs and characteristic green decoration becoming closely associated with traditional Granada pottery. This lebrillo is decorated in a soft green palette over a pale, slightly pink-toned glazed ground. The center features a freely painted composition of stylized leaves and vegetal forms, while the broad interior is framed by a rhythmic border of foliage and repeating brushstrokes. The loose, spontaneous execution of the decoration gives the bowl the unmistakable character of traditional workshop production, where individual brushwork and natural variations were an integral part of each piece. The irregularities of the form, visible throwing marks and variations in the glaze further emphasize its handmade character. Particularly attractive is the contrast between the luminous glazed interior and the completely unglazed exterior, where the warm earthenware body has developed a deep, naturally aged surface with pronounced traces of time and use. Lebrillos were traditionally utilitarian household vessels used in Spain for a variety of domestic purposes. Their generous proportions and bold painted decoration, however, have transformed surviving examples into highly expressive decorative objects, particularly suited today for display or wall mounting. The piece retains a strong and authentic aged appearance. The interior glaze shows scattered staining, rubbing and discoloration, including areas that appear consistent with old oxidation or rust staining. Two fine, stable hairlines are visible on the glazed interior; they are not apparent on the reverse and do not appear to pass through the body. The darker exterior and reverse show pronounced age-related patina and wear. Details: Dimensions: D: 15.35in (39cm) H: 5.12in (13cm) Condition: Good antique condition consistent with age and historical use. Scattered staining, rubbing and surface wear to the interior glaze, with possible old oxidation/rust marks. Two fine stable hairlines visible on the glazed interior, not apparent on the reverse. Pronounced age-related patina and discoloration to the unglazed exterior and reverse. Natural firing and manufacturing irregularities throughout.
