Aguamanil

ca. 1550
On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 544
Manufacturado en Francia a mediados del siglo XVI, este aguamanil es una de las piezas más grandes e impresionantes de cerámica de Saint–Porchaire, una loza blanca cocida a baja temperatura cuyas formas muy elaboradas y a menudo arquitectónicas están ornamentadas con complejos diseños entrelazados, creados con arcillas coloreadas incrustadas en el cuerpo color crema. Se cree que provienen de la ciudad de Saint-Porchaire, en el oeste de Francia, pero su refinamiento técnico y la ambición de sus diseños tal vez indiquen un origen parisino.
