Ceramic Reproductions

From another Granada studio, this one a ceramic studio with a reputation for highly exacting, detailed reproductions of ceramics from the greatest achievements of the civilization of the Moors of Cordoba and Granada, we are pleased to offer the artistry of the Califal collection from 10th and 11th century Cordoba as well as the brilliance of the Nasari Lustreware Collection from Granada during the 12th to 15th centuries.

Califal Ceramic Reproductions

Spanish ceramics - Califal collectionThis beautiful group of reproductions highlights the artistry and inventiveness of these 10th century artisans. The simplicity of their designs and their sure, steady brush strokes are a testament to an art that has rarely been equalled since. Learn more about this remarkable studio and about their equally remarkable reproductions.

Nasari Lustreware Reproductions

Spanish ceramics - Nasari lustreware collectionIn some ways, the lustreware reproduced in this collection represents the pinnacle of the potter's art and it was achieved by the Moorish civilization of Granada between the 12th and 15th centuries. This is an extremely difficult technique to master, especially since some of its elements have been lost for centuries until more modern studies of museum pieces have revealed their secrets. Examples of this art as well as examples of the Califal ceramics currerntly grace Museum shelves around the world. Learn more about the studio and about the reproductions.

Interested in traveling to this fascinating country? We have been there many, many times and often on our arrival home, friends, family and customers have asked all the usual questions including where did you go?, what did you see?, did you have fun?, what was the weather like?, and how much did it cost? These and a host of other questions we have attempted to answer in our travel pages. But one last question has inspired our 'tour' pages and that is - would you plan a trip for us if we gave you the details? The suggested tours in this section have been developed in response to these requests. Have fun! We had a lot of fun creating them (we are working on more). To see these tours, please click here.
