Description from the seller
Pair of Triana or Lucena glazed ceramic perulas, glazed clay, 20th century - Spain
Materials: Fired and glazed clay and forged iron structure
Period: 20th century
Country of origin: Andalusia, Spain
Good condition considering age and use
Dimensions:
Iron base: 72 x 68 x 35 cm.
(2) Perulas: 28 x 19 cm.
Magnificent pair of Triana or Lucena ceramic perulas, made in glazed-fired clay with a bright green finish. They are presented on a forged iron base with elaborate ornamentation, mainly small spirals.
The vessels consist of a large bulbous body and a narrow neck that ends in a small opening with a spout to facilitate pouring the stored liquid. The pieces are of a bright green color with a somewhat coppery tone, characteristic of ceramic perulas, as this color is due to the minerals with which they are made, providing durability and resistance.
Perulas are a vessel typology produced specifically in Andalusia, because that is where the country traditionally concentrates the greatest production of oil, although their creation dates back to Roman times. In particular, this type of vessels was typically produced in the Jaén area, Lucena (Córdoba), and Triana, in Seville, made with Guadalquivir river clay. They are vessels mainly intended for storing oil, though they could also be used to preserve wine or transport liquids. They represent a small fragment of the history and tradition of southern Spain.

DUE TO THE SIZE OF THE PRODUCT, SHIPPING PREFERRED TO BE ARRANGED WITH THE BUYER. IT IS LIKELY THAT A CUSTOM WOODEN BOX OR TWO BOXES WILL BE REQUIRED. CURRENT COSTS ARE ESTIMATED.
The buyer will be responsible for paying import duties and taxes in the destination country, if any. Please note the seller's liability disclaimer regarding possible customs charges, as these are collected in the destination country and the amount to be paid is determined by the customs authority of that country. If an export permit is required, the costs are borne by the buyer. The cost depends progressively on the value of the work to be exported.
