The cuerda seca technique was introduced to Spain by the Arabs in the 15th century.

It is a brush glazing technique invented by the Arabs in an attempt to imitate traditional Spanish mosaics, made up of plain-coloured ceramic slabs which, broken with pincers into tiles of equal shapes and sizes, were composed into panels and mounted on the walls. .

The “cuerda seca” technique was a way to simplify the decoration; it exploits the properties of manganese oxide to contain ceramic glazes, preventing them from spreading during firing.

Since these are artisanal items entirely made and decorated by hand, if there are small imperfections, these denote the originality of the product.
