Aguamanil

ca. 1550
On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 544
Este aguamanil é um dos exemplos maiores e mais extraordinários de cerâmica branca cozidos a baixa temperatura feitos na França em meados do século XVI. Conhecido como cerâmica de Saint-Porchaire, estas peças elaboradas e muitas vezes embelezadas com detalhes arquitetônicos se distinguem pela complexidade de seus desenhos entrelaçados, criados com argilas coloridas incrustadas na estrutura de cor creme. Acreditava-se que foram feitas na cidade de Saint-Porchaire, no oeste da França, mas o aperfeiçoamento técnico e a ambição de seus desenhos parecem sugerir uma origem parisiense.
