Fajalauza pottery is highly sought after and collectible. Designs with bird and ornaments are more traditional. Geometric and intricate designs are not as common.

Granadine traditional pottery is well known as Fajalauza ceramics. The potters settled in the city gradually from the late sixteenth century until the present day, in the North of Albaicin area next to the Fajalauza Gate. The style of pottery takes its name from Morales, the largest factory in Granada. In time, all pottery production in Granada came to be known as Fajalauza pottery. The decoration used on Granadine pottery comes from the workshops and Moorish traditions.

We have the largest collection of Lebrillo in Spain.
