Large Spanish Talavera Majolica Charger |
|
This is a very large and handsome hand painted Spanish Majolica (tin glazed) Charger. It has a hand painting of a medieval Knight on horseback with his spear in hand. The detail of this Talavera Charger is amazing; from the muscles of the horse to the knarled tree trunk it is a sensational work of art. I don’t know exactly how old this piece is, but the style and design look very old to me. There are no cracks, but there is a repaired area were the paint and glaze have come off and were repainted ( see bottom right, below horse hoofs).
If you would like more information on Talavera,visit:http://www.glennawill.com/history/talavera.html . It has two holes drilled in the rim and a braided string attached, it is ready to hang. |
