Comes with a perfectly fitted hand-forged iron wall mount.

This large earthenware basin belongs to the centuries-old ceramic tradition of the Albaicín, where the potters of Granada have worked their green-and-white palette since the sixteenth century. The interior is decorated entirely by hand. The green is the copper-oxide green that has defined Granadine pottery for generations, laid over a soft ivory ground.

Once a working vessel, lebrillos served Andalusian households for cooking, washing, and daily labor, a bowl of this scale is now a commanding artistic presence on a wall.

Condition is consistent with handmade production: light wear to the glaze and rim, minor surface variation in the terracotta, and the small irregularities that mark a piece thrown and painted by hand rather than machine.
