Hand-painted in southern Spain, this wide-rimmed Fajalauza plate takes inspiration for the Andalusian pastoral landscape. Espigas or the golden hulled spikes of cereals growing in the field, cover the base of the plate. The rim of the plate features undulating rows that look like the steady work of a plow.
This wide-rimmed plate is a staple in an Andalusian vajilla – a household’s full set of tableware. While it maintains its utilitarian role, Fajalauza stoneware has become a collector’s darling, displayed among other beloved objects.
Dating back to the 16th century, our Fajalauza ceramic tradition remains faithful to its Moorish roots. Its penchant for vegetal motifs and geometric pictograms descend from more formal designs in Moorish art.
This green Fajalauza plate is available in three sizes: bread, salad/dessert, dinner.
