Large handmade Spanish Lebrillo bowl in traditional Andalusian style, featuring a white tin-glazed interior with hand-painted green decoration.
The central motif presents a more elaborate floral composition with flowing, organic lines, surrounded by a dynamic border combining double wavy bands and radial decorative elements. This expressive brushwork reflects the traditional aesthetics of Granada pottery associated with the Fajalauza ceramic tradition.
The bowl is wheel-thrown, with visible concentric lines inside and an unglazed terracotta exterior, emphasizing its handcrafted character and authenticity.
Granadine ceramics originate from the historic Albaicín district in Granada and are deeply rooted in Moorish decorative traditions. Pieces like this are valued for their bold hand-painted execution and regional identity.

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.
