Description

Seville potteries of Triana.

Large basin with a flat base, a very open, truncated cone-shaped eaves and a thick rim … more Seville potteries of Triana.

Large basin with a flat base, a very open, truncated cone-shaped eaves and a thick rim from the Seville potteries of Triana, where the production of these pieces was very popular, household items that were as useful as they were decorative. The polychrome series of the Monterías is characterized by receiving a thick tin coating on the visible majority of the piece, which is usually not glazed on its external support base. Its decoration is limited to a single central figurative motif and a wide band of geometric designs on its eaves. This basin is decorated with a rabbit walking on its base in a very stylized landscape, which frames on its eaves a decorative border of a geometric nature in its dark pattern with touches of manganese, on a polychrome background with an iridescent appearance.

We have the largest collection of Lebrillos in Spain.
