Portuguese Earthenware Plate, Polychrome Decoration in Blue
About the Item
Portuguese earthenware plate. Polychrome decoration in blue, green, yellow and wine, with floral and geometric motifs, a style often associated with the Moorish influence on Iberian culture. The symmetrical and repetitive composition of flowers and foliage creates a harmonious and balanced visual effect. These colors are characteristic of Portuguese faience, especially those produced in Coimbra, where the use of intense blues and greens was quite common. The contrast of the colors against the white enameled background creates a vivid and dynamic effect, highlighting the hand-painted patterns.
In the center we find a radial geometric motif, functioning as the focal point of the piece. This central pattern expands in symmetrical directions, forming stylized petals and interconnecting curved foliage. The design is bordered by an intense blue border, complemented by small geometric patterns.
The repetitive patterns and the division into symmetrical sections are reminiscent of the tile style, very common in Portuguese decoration. This influence may have come from both traditional tile-making and the Islamic heritage, which brought to Portugal a taste for geometric patterns and modular aesthetics.
