Traditional Andalusian Pottery in Yellow
Our Fajalauza Collection in Yellow bears the mark of the traditional decorative pigment that produced that honey-yellow color artisans used to call “melado.” Made from iron oxide, this vibrant yellow was often used as a accent in ceramics made before the 18th century.
Decorative Spanish Pottery in Yellow
Traditional Uses of Ceramic Bowls
Extracting color from natural pigments was an extremely arduous task.
Up until the 18th century, traditional Spanish pottery typically held a decorative palette of four or five colors. Artisans extracted a variety of blue hues from cobalt and green from copper. Brown and black were extracted from manganese oxide.
And, of course, tin-white glaze was indispensable.
Yellow, a cheerful accent that highlighted special details in pottery, came from iron oxide.
Derived from the Spanish word “miel” for honey, this melado or honey-colored yellow produces vibrant tones ranging from yellow to orange.
Nowadays, we produce custom Fajalauza ceramics in about 18 different colors.

This traditional Spanish serving bowl transcends its culinary function and has become a beloved decorative object, sought after by collectors and homeowners.
Our Ajedrez lebrillo-style serving bowl is a classic example of the Fajalauza ceramic tradition: brilliant colors and intricate patterns. Known as a “fuente semillana” in southern Spain, this flat-bottomed bowl is made in the same shape as the heftier traditional lebrillo.
A geometric design similar to a chess board covers the base of the bowl.
In keeping with the rich repintado style of Fajalauza, the painter has covered the bowl from base to rim.
Though this sumptuous bowl has traditionally been used as a centerpiece or fruit bowl, it has transcended its culinary function as collectors and homemakers adorn their walls and shelves with both fuentes and lebrillos.
Also available in blue, green, and violet purple upon request.
