The intricacy of this hand executed pattern is based on a typical Portuguese design from the late 18th century when glazed earthenware was painted with no single piece being alike. The composition features a central floral rosette surrounded by repeating panels of stylized pink blossoms and green foliage, alternating with cobalt-blue linear decoration. The broad border is decorated with a continuous pattern of stylized flowers, leaves and scrolling cobalt forms, accented in yellow, lavender and black. Portuguese faience production of the 18th century included increasingly varied polychrome palettes and floral decoration. See less
