A large Hispano-Moresque albarello, produced between the 17th and 19th centuries.
This piece is adorned by many different geometric designs, making great usage of the contrasts created between red and blue upon a white base, such as we see in the checkerboarding at the centre of the albarello. This style of decoration, coupled with the colours utilised, are greatly indicative of Hispano Moresque art and were used in many pieces dating from this era.
