Glazed Ceramic Flowerpot by Morillo Bros, Málaga, 1940s

About the Item

This original mid-century Malagueña ceramic flowerpot with blue accents, created by the renowned Cerámica Hermanos Morillo, is a standout example of traditional Málaga craftsmanship. Founded in 1941 by José Morillo, the creator of this type of flowerpot among other beautiful pieces, it features the iconic and unmistakable design of handles with knotted fabric in relief, which became a hallmark of Malagueña craftsmanship. The pottery was originally located in Colonia Santa Inés, within the grounds of the significant and historic Cerámica Santa Inés factory, established in 1879. Pieces from Cerámica Hermanos Morillo have decorated emblematic places such as Picasso's Birthplace and the Museum of Popular Arts, reflecting their deep roots in Málaga's culture. What makes this flowerpot special is its history and artisanal quality. Each piece is handmade, following traditional techniques passed down through generations. The flowerpot is not just a decorative item but also a testament to Málaga's rich cultural heritage, reflecting the dedication and skill required to create such a piece, as well as its rarity and authenticity. History and provenance: This flowerpot is part of a pottery tradition dating back to the 1940s. Cerámica Hermanos Morillo closed its doors in 1999 but left a lasting legacy in Malagueña craftsmanship. The pieces from this pottery are now collector's items, valued for their quality and connection to Andalusian history. This flowerpot has been crafted using unique artisanal processes, utilizing clay extracted from the quarry, now known as the Laguna de la Barrera. This environment has influenced the uniqueness of the pieces, making them one of a kind. This Malagueña ceramic flowerpot is more than just a plant container; it is a piece of living history, ready to beautify any space with its charm and authenticity, bringing a piece of Málaga's rich artisanal tradition into your home.
