Moorish Ceramics
Moorish ceramics refer to the pottery and tile work produced by the Moorish culture, which flourished in the Iberian Peninsula from the 8th to the 15th centuries. These ceramics are characterized by intricate geometric patterns, vibrant colors, and the use of techniques such as glazing and lusterware. They often feature motifs inspired by nature and Islamic art, reflecting the cultural fusion of the time.
The production of Moorish ceramics was centered in regions like Andalusia and Granada, where skilled artisans created both functional and decorative pieces. These ceramics played a significant role in architecture, often adorning mosques, palaces, and public spaces, showcasing the artistic achievements of the Islamic Golden Age.
