Like the traditional Spanish lebrillo, this large serving bowl is another descendant of its Caliphate era. Dubbed “fuente semillana” o “plato semillano,” this flat-bottomed bowl has inverted cone-shaped body and rounded border.
Its predecessor, the ataifor, was frequently decorated in gold paint and usually occupied the center of the table.
This Fajalauza bowl was usually filled with fruits, salads and other foods.
Given its intricately decorated surface, this large serving bowl is sometimes used for display on shelves or walls, in a similar way as the lebrillo.
Fajalauza motifs often feature granada or pomegranate, the namesake of the city that has sustained this pottery tradition. Other themes include native Andalucian plants – water lilies, sunflowers, daisies, and palms – and songbirds such as peacocks, spotless starlings, and spotless gray herons).
Our expanding collection is proof of the Fajalauza tradition's longevity despite its age. At the moment, we have 36 different Fajalauza designs.
