Beautiful large Andalusian earthenware bowl from the traditional Fajalauza workshops in Granada, dating to the early-mid 20th century.
Hand-thrown red clay with white tin glaze and typical green-and-blue brush decoration — a stylized bird surrounded by floral motifs inside, and leaf pattern around the rim and exterior.
Visible traces of time and small glaze chips along the rim (shown in photos) consistent with age and use. No structural cracks or restorations.

(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.
