A striking example of traditional Granada pottery, this large hand-thrown earthenware bowl features a vibrant green-glazed bird at its center, surrounded by stylized foliage and rhythmic wavy bands in classic Fajalauza style. The central motif is both decorative and symbolic, rooted in centuries-old Andalusian ceramic traditions. The bowl’s wide rim is lightly stippled and unglazed, emphasizing its rustic charm. This type of ware was traditionally used for display or as a serving vessel during festive occasions in southern Spain.

(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.
