Manises. Lustreware. 15th-18th centuries.

Tableware with a golden lustre, decorated by means of the most refined Islamic technique, began to be produced in Manises at the beginning of the 15th century thanks to the arrival of Moorish craftsmen from Málaga. At the end of the 16th century, this technique began to be used in Barcelona, Reus and Muel (Aragon).

These ceramic pieces became very popular in the rest of Europe and in North Africa because of their beautiful lustre, with iridescences ranging from gold to copper, and their masterful patterns, in which blue and gold were often combined. The rear of these pieces deserves special attention since it is also profusely decorated.

Ornamental motifs of Moslem and Gothic tradition may be seen . The melding of these two forms of decoration gave rise to the very rich and varied Mudejar style.
