Some rare and unique Spanish antiques
Spanish pottery and ceramics go a long way back. some almost 4,000 odd years. But it was the Moorish initiative of introducing the earthenware and lusterware that changed the face of Spanish pottery and ceramics.
Since the Moors had an Islamic background the designs on the ceramics and pottery were initially restricted to their religion alone. Later around the 15th century however, more Christian scenes began to appear on these ceramics. The manufacturers started producing the various domestic wares somewhere around the 16th century such as the plates and bowls after there was a restriction on silver for everyday purpose.
Til the early 18th century, Spanish pottery was very famous amongst the French and the Italians as well. The Spanish had a way with clay that was unmatched by any other and all the items were unique portrayal of brilliant artistry. The designs were simply outstanding as is evident with each and every elegant piece of the Spanish antiques.
