The hand painted Estornino dinner plate in purple is just one example of Fajalauza's dedication to marrying artistry with functionality. This plate features a depiction of the estornino, or spotless starling, a songbird native to the region of Andalusia. The choice of this motif is a testament to the workshop's deep connection to the local environment and culture. The starling's graceful presence on the plate adds not only an aesthetic element but also a touch of regional identity.
The pomegranate tree is a recurring motif in Fajalauza ceramics since it is the very symbol of the city of Granada and holds cultural and historical significance in the region. Fajalauza's use of this motif pays homage to the rich heritage and traditions of Granada. Here the starling bird sits on a pomegranate branch bearing dropping flowers and buds.
Our commitment to preserving traditional craftsmanship techniques is evident in the careful and precise creation of these pieces. Each item is crafted by skilled artisans who have honed their expertise over generations. The meticulous attention to detail, such as the intricate pattern of seashells on the plate’s lip or the delicate rendering of the starling's features showcases the dedication to quality and artistry.
Fajalauza's ceramics, exemplified by the Estornino dinner plate, are a tribute to Granada's cultural and natural heritage. They not only encapsulate the region's beauty but also carry forward the legacy of traditional craftsmanship, making them highly sought-after pieces of art and functional items for homes and collectors alike.
