Spice rack in glazed ceramic. Talavera de la Reina, 18th century. A three-bowl spice rack in the shape of an equilateral triangle, made of ceramic and decorated with high-temperature glazes typical of Talavera polychromy: manganese black for the rims and antimony oranges and yellows, copper green, and cobalt blue. It is a classically styled piece with clean lines that define the different parts of the structure, well-organized decoration, and minimalist motifs that nonetheless evoke the Greco-Roman ornamental repertoire, such as the palmette and the acanthus leaf.
