Production: Unidentified Manises pottery
Tin-glazed earthenware dish, painted in blue and copper lustre with birds and foliage
Earthenware with creamy-white tin-glaze, painted in blue and reduced-pigment copper-lustre. Circular with a slightly everted rim, deep sloping rim, and curved well with a convex boss in the centre. The front is painted with three blue sprays of leaves. Between them, all painted in lustre, there are three birds pecking fruit, amongst small striped leaves on meandering stems which completely fill the background. The boss is lustred overall. The edge is encircled by a broad band of lustre. On the reverse, the lustre appears more red, and comprises numerous oval and incomplete oval outlines scattered over the surface. Two suspension holes were bored through the rim before firing.
