AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Magnificent Manises devotional ceramic plaque, with the inscription “AVE MARÍA” in large relief letters glazed in cobalt blue.
It features extraordinary relief decoration of cherubs and angels, with blue wings and bodies in coppery tones, arranged symmetrically around the inscription.
The background is richly ornamented with small floral and geometric motifs, creating an attractive contrast between the intense blues and the warm tones of the decoration.
The composition belongs to a traditional typology of Manises devotional ceramics, documented since the eighteenth century, with related pieces preserved in the Museo Nacional de Cerámica González Martí in Valencia and the Instituto Valencia de Don Juan in Madrid.
The back preserves a reinforcement and fastening system using metal strips.
A noteworthy piece of Manises devotional ceramics, of great ornamental richness and closely linked to the Valencian ceramic tradition.
