Ceramics of Spain

34 stores · curated ORBIS register

Spanish ceramics carry four centuries of glaze: Granada throwing, Seville tile, Galician porcelain, each with its own workshop mark. Ceramica Fajalauza (Cecilio Morales) keeps traditional throwing-and-painting Fajalauza ware alive in Granada. Cerámica Triana hand-paints Seville azulejo tiles and custom murals. Sargadelos casts Galician porcelain and contemporary design objects. The workshop mark hides on the foot of the piece; turn it over before anything else. Tile colours shift after dark; match them to the light of the room they will live in.
