Fajalauza in Green

As Fajalauza artisans develop new colors, this delicate sea-foam green continues to embellish our most sought-after pieces, from plates to fuentes to lebrillos

Traditional Andalusian Pottery in Green

Though green was once considered the most humble of the colors in the Fajalauza palette, it remains a favorite. Before the 18th century, most large Fajalauza pieces were painted in green, the most economical color at the time. Nowadays, this copper green sits right at home alongside other more modern colors.

Arábica Fajalauza Plate in Green

from €45.00

This green Arábica Fajalauza plate is a classic example of Moorish heritage of this ceramic tradition. The Fajalauza ceramic tradition marked an inflection point in Andalusian society: the end of Moorish rule and the reign of the Catholic monarchs.

This green Arábica plate comes in three sizes: bread, salad/dessert, and dinner.

Granada Fajalauza Plate in Green

from €45.00

Painted in a vivid green over white glaze, this wide-rimmed plate bears our most emblematic motif: granada or pomegranate.

According to some historians, the Romans named the city of Granada after the Latin granatum or pomegranate, a fruit-bearing tree abundant in the area. Others credit the phonetic evolution of the Arabic "gar-anat," meaning 'hill of pilgrims.'

The pomegranate grows well in arid conditions. Its tough skin protects it from drying, making it a perfect survival food that could feed caravans traveling long journeys.

The resilient fruit tree may have been a staple for the desert people who conquered Andalucía in the 8th century.

Now abundant in the region, the pomegranate has become an enduring symbol of Granada’s culture. Fajalauza ceramics pay homage to that heritage with myriad variations in design.

Love the Granada motif? Find it on plates, fuentes, or lebrillos.
