The Medici Valencian Vase



The beautiful vase above is an example of lustreware, a kind of shiny ornamental vases with strong islamic flavor. This type of art was found in Spain during the 1400s and even much later, long after the moslems had been vanquished, however their artistic influence lived on for centuries after that and is apparent in the mosiac architecture of Spain.
