Vase with cover 1725 - 1745

This 18th-century "Vase with Cover" is a stunning example of the Alcora Manufactory's mastery of Spanish tin-glazed earthenware, also known as maiolica. Decorated with vibrant floral motifs and a central figure holding an umbrella, it showcases the intricate details and delicate colors characteristic of this style. The vase's ornate design and elegant form, now housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, demonstrate the skillful artistry of the Alcora Manufactory, a prominent producer of ceramics in 18th-century Spain.
