Product Details

12" MEDIEVAL GEOMETRIC DESIGN BOWL SET has six smaller bowls. Not to be used for food, bowls may be used for decorative purposes, to hold items or to serve as planters. These pieces were produced by a small team of craftsmen using the same hand-throwing and glazing techniques used in Spain hundreds of years ago. The bowls are handpainted. Firing support points may be evident on the pieces. The artisans' mark is on the bottom of the bowls. Known as The Moors, a group of Arabs and Berbers invaded the Iberian Peninsula from North Africa. They estabblished an empire called Al Andalus and ruled for seven centuries. As their culture thrived, so did their arts and crafts. Historical records show that this type of pottery was flourishing in the city of Toledo by the 11th century. Over time, the design range expanded to include the painted re-telling of the epic adventures of knights and noblemen. Excavations and preservation of this pottery, along with continued reproduction by Toledo's ceramicists, have allowed us this artistic opportunity to look back in time. ONE SET AVAILABLE.
