https://www.decorativecollective.com/dealers/rustiqueA rare 17th-century Spanish pottery plate from Manises, Valencia, decorated with scrolling foliage and fruit motifs set against a finely dotted ground. The composition is divided by stylised lines and bordered by a wide band encircling the rim, all set on a warm buff-coloured base in rich, iridescent copper lustre.
The design is executed in broad, fluid brushstrokes that lend a lively sense of movement to the decoration. Shallow in shape, the plate exemplifies the Hispano-Moresque tradition—an enduring fusion of Islamic and Gothic design, produced by Moorish potters in Valencia and prized across European courts. A fine decorative piece, with vibrant metallic glaze and bold patterning—ideal for display on a wall or shelf.
