Hispano-Moresque ware is a style of Islamic pottery that originated in Muslim Spain and was created by Moorish potters. After the conquest of 711, the Moors introduced tin-glazed pottery to Spain. Important centers for Hispano-Moresque ware included Valencia, Barcelona, and Malaga.
By the 13th century, luster-painted pottery was primarily produced in Malaga by Moorish Muslim artists.
The history of luster-painted pottery in Spain can be divided into two major periods: the first occurred before the Reconquista, and the second took place after the Reconquista when Muslims were expelled to North Africa at the end of the 15th century. However, many Muslims converted to Christianity and were permitted to remain in Spain, allowing them to continue producing Islamic-style pottery.
CONDITION: Displays signs of age and heavy use, has been regluded from four distinct breaks, exhibits some chipping, and shows slight glaze flaking. All of this is related to age, which is typical for 17th-century ceramics.
