Antique Hand-Painted Lebrillo Bowl with a Green Floral Motif
on-1187
A European lebrillo terracotta bowl decorated with hand-painted green slip in a traditional folk style. The interior features stylized floral motifs framed by rhythmic zigzag and spiral patterns, applied with confident, expressive brushwork that underscores its artisanal origin.
The warm terracotta ground contrasts with the vibrant green glaze, a palette long associated with Southern European lebrillo ceramics. Subtle variations in the painted decoration and form reflect its handmade character, while areas of wear and minor glaze loss contribute to an authentic, timeworn patina.
Originally produced as a functional vessel, this lebrillo bowl now serves as a decorative accent, well suited for display on open shelving, a kitchen wall, or as a sculptural element within a curated interior. Its restrained presence allows it to complement both traditional and contemporary settings. Wear consistent with age and use.
