FAQs

Fajalauza pottery is a traditional style of glazed earthenware originating from the Albaicin district of Granada, Spain, dating back to the 16th century with production continuing through the centuries.

These pieces are typically crafted from local clay, hand-thrown or moulded, coated with a tin or white lead glaze, and hand-painted with metallic oxides, primarily cobalt blue and copper green, before being kiln-fired.

Authentic pieces often exhibit characteristic hand-painted motifs in blue and green, visible potting imperfections, crazing in the glaze, and earthy clay bodies consistent with historical Spanish production methods.

This type of decorative object can be displayed on a sideboard, coffee table, or open shelving as a focal point, pairing well with rustic, eclectic, or minimalist interiors to add historical texture.

Antique ceramics should be kept out of direct sunlight, hand-washed gently with mild soap only when necessary, and never submerged in water for prolonged periods to protect the historic glaze and porous clay.
