It was founded, with its capital at Granada, in 1238, and lasted until it was overwhelmed by the armies of the united Christian kingdoms of Castile and Aragon in 1492.

In 1568, the painter Giorgio Vasari favorably contrasted maiolica with ancient pottery, which never had \"the lustrous glazing nor the charm and variety of painting\" evident in his own day.2 Spurred by local demand for Hispano-Moresque ceramics [see Wilson, \"The Impact of Hispano-Moresque Imports in Fifteenth-century Florence,\" this volume], Italian potters transformed utilitarian objects into increasingly colorful, diverse products, which in turn became export items. Early Italian pottery was decorated with simple forms and marked by a limited palette, like a green and brown jug from Orvieto (cat. no. 5) or mid-fifteenth-century pitcher from Florence ornamented with dark blue monstrous birds, a lion, and an oak-leaf pattern against a cream ground","PeriodicalId":36609,"journal":{"name":"Bulletin of the Detroit Institute of Arts","volume":"87 1","pages":"14 - 19"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1086/DIA43493616","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"60999112","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
