Plate (Spain)
This is a plate. It is dated late 17th century and we acquired it in 1940. Its medium is glazed and lustered earthenware. It is a part of the Product Design and Decorative Arts department.
In the 14th century,the region of Valencia, Spain became a center for the production of the most elaborate lusterware. These ceramics,technically superior to any other wares produced in late-medieval Europe, became a successful export.This plate shows decoration of Islamic origin,including stylized birds, palm and fern elements, as well as interlace patterns of curving lines and geometric shapes.
