This Fajalauza pottery on Carretera de Murcia traces its kilns back to 1517 and is now run by the Fajalauza Foundation following the death of potter Cecilio Morales Moreno in 2022. It throws and hand-paints pitchers, sugar bowls, vases and oil pourers in the tin-glazed Granada tradition.
Cerámica Los Arrayanes was born in Granada in 1988 to preserve the city's ceramic tradition, which grew from the glazes and forms of Nasrid workshops. Its artisans trained under Agustín Morales Alguacil of Cerámica San Isidro. Each piece is shaped on the wheel or in hand-made moulds, bisque fired, painted with natural pigments and fired again at the shop on Calle Alhóndiga 16.
In the Albaicin, this factory hand-paints the blue-and-green Fajalauza earthenware Granada has produced since the seventeenth century, from tiles and tableware to lamps and clocks. Pieces carry an authenticity seal and are decorated with pomegranate, bird and Alhambra-mosaic motifs.
Cerámica Fajalauza is a working Granada pottery documented back to 1517 and passed down through generations of the same family, now run as a foundation after founder Cecilio Morales Moreno's death. The factory and shop sell hand-painted tableware and decorative vases in the traditional blue-and-green Fajalauza glaze, take custom commissions, and offer pottery workshops.
The factory and shop share a red-gated site on Granada’s Carretera de Murcia. Visitors can see a working ceramic lineage expressed in hand-painted tableware, tiles and decorative forms rather than a museum-only display.
