19th Century Spanish Terracotta Tile "Socarrat" of Birds and Flowers
About the Item
The socarrat is a slab of fired clay or thick tile, glazed in white and generally decorated in reddish or brownish and blackish tones, intended to be placed between beams, on roofs and in the eaves of buildings. A piece of medieval origin typical of the pottery of the Spanish Levant, the term 'socarrat', in Valencian means 'scorched'.1 Other words are known that name pieces with similar functions to 'socarrats', such as rajola, maó prim, atovó or cairó. The first recorded mention of their existence was made in 1604 by the bishop of Segorbe, Feliciano de Figueroa. Representative of Paterna pottery, the socarrat and similar pieces have also been documented in Benetúser, Manises and many other places in Valencia, Aragon, Catalonia and the Balearic Islands.
