Traditional Spanish Lebrillos With Aged Finish
A muted green allows this decorative lebrillo bowl to age gracefully over time, adding layers to its delicate palette.
Pottery steeped in the rich Moorish legacy of southern Spain
These Andalusian lebrillos boast a soft green or blue tone that rolls gently over our new cream glaze. Faithful to our traditional designs, these bowls present a temperate palette where the patina can grow gracefully as the lebrillo ages.
Our lebrillo collection is handmade and hand-painted in southern Spain. We currently offer made-to-order lebrillos in sizes ranging from 35cm to 80cm in diameter. For custom colors or size, please get in touch.
Spanish Lebrillos With Aged Finish in Green
Tradition, Craft, Memory
Born out of a pottery tradition that dates back to the 16th century, this flat-bottomed bowl was once an essential household utility.
Employed in the kitchen, the lebrillo bowl was indispensable in seasonal food preparations like the yearly matanza. Superlatively large bowls served as sinks or washing basins.
While perfectly practical, these vessels are highly decorative.
Hand-painted in vegetal and geometric motifs inherited from Hispano-Arab artisans in southern Spain, the lebrillo has now transcended its utilitarian role.
Done in its most traditional tones — green and blue — these designs now adorn gardens and homes across the globe.
Displayed as wall art, the lebrillo lends gravitas and history to modern interiors.

Our Piña Lebrillo in Green with Aged Finish evokes the timeless charm of pottery with age and great provenance. Its muted palette of faded green over a cream glaze gives it a time-worn look while honoring the integrity of the bowl.
Perfect for interiors that seek to create a deliberate, layered look, this bowl features one of the most traditional motifs in European art, the pineapple.
Found in designs dating back to the 15th century — woolen rugs, damasks, architecture and still life paintings — the pineapple, a new tropical fruit from the Americas that enthralled Europe, became a symbol of rarity and expense.
Its striking form and geometric details captured the imagination of artists and artisans.
This decorative bowl features a large pineapple crowned by a geometric motif set in concentric circles.

Provenance, Personality, Patina
A cream-colored glaze and soft green give this pottery a timeless allure. Its subtle palette will soon soften gracefully into that unmistakable patina only time can deliver.
Our skilled artisan partners make and then paint each lebrillo by hand, making every one of them a unique creation with its own distinct personality.
Presenting a considered palette, this decorative bowl serves as a perfect accent in a space that requires a subtle touch.
Displayed together in a group, these designs create a stunning lebrillo wall with various points of interest as each bowl features a unique motif.
Family lebrillos, passed down from one generation to another, are lovingly repaired, never discarded.
Now valued for their aesthetic quality, the lebrillo has become a cherished collector’s item.
Lebrillo Wall Mounts & Floor Stands
Our wall mounts use the traditional tripod structure and they are custom-made by a small ironsmith workshop.
Due to the artisanal nature of ceramics, each lebrillo differs slightly in height and girth by a fraction.
In order to customize each wall mount for its corresponding lebrillo, we recommend purchasing both the lebrillo and wall mount at the same time. The ironsmith will use your specific lebrillo to make sure its wall mount wraps tightly around the piece and holds it securely in place.
Lebrillos are often hung separately or as part of display wall in the home or garden.
While we may still use a lebrillo as a fruit bowl, this enduring symbol of Spanish culture has become a beloved item among collectors and home décor lovers. Learn more about our lebrillos.

Our lebrillo stand features three flat iron legs tipped with ornate decorative volutes at the ends. The base of the stand is a tripod structure that supports the full weight of the lebrillo.
Made in a small ironsmith workshop in southern Spain, our lebrillo stands are customized to fit different sizes.
Perfect to display a lebrillo on its own or among a large collection.
