BLUE FLOWERS DISH. 19TH CENTURY

Description:
Enamelled earthenware dish, Valencian from Alcora. We place the piece at the end of the 19th century, but it could be earlier, given its characteristics. Two points of support can be seen on the reverse, due to the tripod that was used for baking.
- It has three large blue flowers painted on it, bordering the plate, with green and brown details, creating a very beautiful, harmonious whole.
- It could have been made in the Royal Alcora Fine Earthenware and Porcelain Factory, due to its period and the style of the brushstrokes of its paintings.
- The Alcora factory began in 1727, being the first industrial factory in the province, and survived until the middle of the 20th century.
- No distinctive mark or contrast has been found that could provide information on the place where it was made, the manufacturer's details or any other information.

Conservation and Damage:
- The dish is in a good state of preservation. It has flaking, both on the rim and on the base, due to knocks and rubbing.
