Preparation Steps

Original Recipe Text

The lustre technique is identified on the 15th-century ceramic dish from Manises, Valencia. The text outlines its historical spread from Iraq, through Egypt, and into Islamic Spain (p. 51).

Evidence

"the lustre technique started in Iraq then spread to Egypt before arriving in Islamic Spain and Valencia."

Remarks

Produced by Mudejar craftsmen, this dish (Fig. 25) serves as evidence of the 'hybridity Spain experienced, both in terms of societies and everyday artefacts, under Islamic rule then under Cristian rule' (p. 52).
