Hispano-Moresque — style of pottery and tiles produced in Spain, particularly in places like Malaga and Valencia, during the 14th and 15th centuries under the influence of Moorish culture. This artistic tradition emerged as a fusion of Islamic and Spanish aesthetics, resulting in distinctive and captivating ceramic works.

Hispano-Moresque pottery and tiles are known for their exquisite use of lustre, a technique that creates an iridescent metallic sheen on the surface. This lustre effect, often combined with cobalt blue decorations, is applied over a white tin glaze, giving the pieces a striking visual appeal.

The designs featured on Hispano-Moresque ceramics are typically intricate and geometric, drawing inspiration from Islamic art motifs such as stars, arabesques, and interlacing patterns. The craftsmanship of these pieces reflects a high level of skill and attention to detail, showcasing the mastery of the artisans involved.

The use of lustre and cobalt blue on a white tin glaze creates a rich contrast and depth, lending a sense of elegance and sophistication to the Hispano-Moresque ceramics. These works of art were highly prized and sought after, not only for their beauty but also for their cultural significance as a symbol of the interplay between Islamic and Spanish influences during that time period.
