Hispano Moresque Style Spanish Porcelain Plate, produced in Spain. This style of plate makes use of traditional islamic techniques which were introduced into the country and incorporated with existing European traditions.
This plate makes great use of islamic scripture, which is displayed in a contrasting blue and gold, with intricate floral motifs filling the four corners of the face. This plate is therefore a great example of Hispano Moresque cermaic work, which was for centuries considered to be the best in Europe.
