Authentic 19th-century Spanish Fajalauza lebrillo, handcrafted in Andalusia, traditionally associated with the Granada pottery tradition. This large bowl features classic cobalt blue hand-painted decoration on a light earthenware ground, with a central floral motif and expressive wavy border typical of Fajalauza ceramics.
Wheel-thrown and hand-decorated, the piece shows natural irregularities, glaze movement, and firing variations consistent with genuine 19th-century production. A strong decorative object with clear historical and regional identity.

(The photographs form an integral part of the description.)
A well-placed antique does more than decorate a room - it gives it authorship. Against a contemporary interior, older objects introduce texture, balance and a sense of permanence that cannot be replicated by newly made pieces alone.
This is the principle behind the LÜRON selection. We look for works that carry historical character with ease, and that feel as convincing in a Paris apartment as they do in a more modern architectural setting.
