Vase

ca. 1700

Not on view

Italian influences are strong in this Hispanized type. Animal, bird, and human forms are introduced and are crowded together with foliate forms. The earliest variety of the Talavera style employs "aborronado" or "tattoed" designs applied as thick dots and dashes and repeated on the ground along with animal motifs among the primary decoration. Tattoed ornamentation appears depressed as the color has sunk into the surface of the white enamel ground.
