MM circular plate with reflections. S. XX.

Description:
- Medium-sized circular dish, of good quality, with a wavy cord on the edge of its perimeter as a perimeter border. The dish is made of beige enamelled earthenware, with metallic and cobalt blue highlights decoration, of acceptable quality, probably made in Manises (Valencia - Spain), in the second half of the 20th century. Due to its characteristics, it could have been made at the beginning of the 20th century. In our opinion, the dish has late Mudejar influences.
- The cymbal has a medium thickness, with no sound at the touch. The beige enamel is very thick, which gives it a high quality.
- On the upper face, the metallic lustre decoration forms a design with four axes and an eight-pointed star around a central circle. The shapes of the design are outlined with cobalt-blue lines.
- On the underside of the dish there is no pattern of any kind, and the beige enamel is visible in all its splendour. It has the signature "MM" in gold.
- We think that this dish has three phases of firing. The first phase involves firing the virgin earthenware in the kiln. In a second phase the dish is fired with the application of the yellowish beige glaze. And a third phase in which the dish is fired again with the application of the metallic lustre and cobalt blue paint.
- All these characteristics of the plate give it a very interesting patina, with a very attractive and high quality appearance.
- The fact that the object has a distinctive mark or contrast is of great importance in order to be able to identify data such as its maker, the place where it was made and other details.
