Albarelo. Catalonia, 18th century. Polychrome ceramic. It has faults. Measurements: 30 x 13 cm. Albarelo or pharmacy jar with a tall body and wide mouth, as is usual in this typology, made of polychrome ceramic, decorated on the outside with a vegetal composition in blue enamel, placed on a white border. This decoration reflects the technical skill and sensitivity of the craftsmen, the European and Eastern influences and the successive technical innovations that gave the work of Catalan potters a unique character. As for the technique used, despite its monochrome nature, the use of cobalt blue applied in different gradations produces a large number of shades which, in turn, contrast with the white tonality used as the base of the piece.
