Dish

Dish "faixes i cintes". Catalonia, XVIII century.
Ceramic.
Measurements: 20 cm (diameter).
Dish made of ceramic, decorated on the inside with a naturalistic naval composition in blue enamel, placed on a white setting. This decoration reflects the technical skill and sensitivity of the craftsmen, the European and Oriental influences and the successive technical innovations that gave the work of the Catalan potters a unique character. As for the technique used, despite its monochrome, the use of cobalt blue applied in different gradations produces a large number of hallmarks that, in turn, contrast with the white tonality used as the base of the piece, which is the color of the white color of the piece.
