GLAZED CERAMIC SPICE CONTAINER. TALAVERA DE LA REINA, SPAIN, 18TH CENTURY.

Glazed ceramic spice rack. Talavera de la Reina, 18th century. Spice rack with three wells in the shape of an equilateral triangle, made of ceramic and decorated with high-temperature enamels typical of the Talavera polychrome: manganese black for the profiles and oranges and yellows of antimony, copper green and cobalt blue. It is a classic-style piece, with clean lines that delimit the different parts of the structure, well-organized decoration and synthetic motifs that refer to the Greco-Latin ornamental repertoire, such as the palmette and the acanthus leaf.
