An early example of a Hispano Moresque Style Vase, produced between the 17th and 19th Centuries.
This piece makes great use of emphasising a central motif through contrasting its blue colouring against a red and white background. Amongst the geometric patterning across the vase our eye is drawn to the central motif which is a depiction of the tree of life, something which was of great importance in Islamic art.
