Description
-
On the front, Manises lusterware braseros were decorated with radial designs and filled with dense, regularized vegetal motifs and other patterns, all organized around a central device. On the back, they were also luster-painted, usually with larger-scale designs and often with more exuberance. Puncture holes in the rims indicate that such dishes were sometimes displayed on walls when not in use.
