19th Century Spanish Lebrillo Plate with Bird Motif – Hand-Painted Blue Glaze No. 2

A more animated interpretation of the traditional lebrillo, this 19th-century Spanish plate features a single bird rendered with a sense of movement—its form slightly more abstract, nestled within a dense surround of scrolling foliage.

Executed in deep blue against a warm earthen ground, the decoration reflects the enduring Moorish influence found in the ceramic traditions of Granada and Triana. The border, with its repeating geometric rhythm, frames the central motif with structure and contrast.

What distinguishes this example is its energy—the brushwork feels freer, the composition more expressive. Subtle variations in glaze and line speak to its handmade origin, giving the piece a character that feels both historic and alive.

Once a functional object of daily life, it now stands as a study in pattern, form, and enduring design.

Collectors Notes

While still centered around a single bird, this piece feels more dynamic in its execution—less symmetrical, more interpretive.

It’s the kind of object that reveals itself over time. At a glance, it reads as pattern; up close, the individuality of each brushstroke comes through.

Ideal for layering into a collected wall or placed where it can be encountered more intimately—on a console, a bedside table, or among everyday objects that benefit from a sense of history.
