Title
El Rayu (Siero) earthenware ceramic pitcher
Description
Glazed pottery painted with flower motifs, especially on the front area. This is combined with two
butterflies in a blend of green and blue. The decoration also extends to the top, around the mouth of
the piece, and around the base, with blue lines that contrast against the white color of the rest of the
object. This type of pottery, from the El Rayu (Siero) potter, originated in the 18th century, and was highly successful in the region of Asturias, playing a significant role in the development of a competitive pottery industry in the area.
