Authentic Spanish Fajalauza lebrillo bowl produced in Granada in the late 18th century. This traditional Andalusian majolica bowl features a hand-painted cobalt blue floral composition at the center, surrounded by rhythmic wave motifs along the rim.
The decoration reflects the strong Moorish influence characteristic of early Fajalauza pottery, executed freely and without mechanical repetition. The glaze shows natural variations in tone and texture, adding depth and visual richness.
The bowl bears several original iron staple repairs, historically applied to extend its functional life. These repairs are an important part of the object’s history and enhance its authenticity and character.
An outstanding decorative and collectible piece, ideal for collectors of Spanish ceramics, interior designers, or as a sculptural accent in a Mediterranean or wabi-sabi interior.

(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.
