Description

This beautiful Hispano-Moresque Charger is an excellent example in super condition dating from around 1830. The charger is hand painted in red ironstone with a copper and blue lustre segmented design under a stylish knotted border.

Hispano Moresque ware is a style of Islamic pottery with typical Moorish designs that centered around Malaga, Spain in the 15th century. The lustre ware beautiful imitates metallic finishes with iridescent effects.

Hispano Moresque wares use a process where paint is applied as an over glaze which is then fired again. Lustre ware was a specialty of Islamic pottery as the use of drinking and eating vessels in gold and silver, which was the ideal in Rome and Persia, was forbidden so this lustreware was used as tableware for Muslim elites.

This charger is a fine example and is in excellent condition with great colour and a beautiful lustrous finish.

It is an imposing size measuring 46.5cm in diameter and 5 cms in height.

FAQs

Hispano-Moresque pottery represents a distinctive stylistic fusion of Islamic artistic traditions and Christian Spanish craftsmanship, flourishing particularly during the medieval and Renaissance periods in regions such as Valencia and Andalusia.

These items are traditionally fashioned from earthenware clay, coated with an opaque tin glaze, and decorated using metallic luster pigmentsprimarily gold, copper, and cobalt bluewhich are fired in a reduction kiln to produce an iridescent sheen.

Authentication involves examining the body fabric, glaze composition, and pigment characteristics under magnification, looking for period-specific potting techniques, hand-painted motifs, and natural age-related wear such as glaze crazing and iridescence loss.

Such decorative pieces function effectively as focal points when mounted securely on a neutral wall or displayed on a specialized stand within a dining room or living space to contrast against contemporary architectural lines.

Preservation requires maintaining stable indoor humidity and temperature levels, keeping the object out of direct sunlight, and dusting gently with a soft, dry cloth without applying water, chemical cleaners, or abrasive materials.
