We came across this car with British plates--expired ones, to boot. I didn't know you could drive in the US on these...
Tin-glazed earthenware with cobalt and lustre
The production of tin- and lead-based glazed earthenware, as well as the application of metallic oxides to create an iridescent effect, were among the most important artistic techniques introduced by Muslim potters to the Iberian Peninsula. By the fourteenth century, the most prized lustreware was made in Valencia, and could be found in the homes of the noble, royal and ecclesiastical families of Europe, such as the Despujol family from Catalonia, whose arms appear at the centre of this plate.*

Spain and the Hispanic World: Treasures from the Hispanic Society Museum & Library
(January - April 2023)
From masterpieces by Goya and Velázquez to dazzling objects from Latin America, explore the art and culture of the Hispanic world in this landmark exhibition.
Discover the rich story of Spanish and Hispanic art and culture from the ancient world to the early 20th century through over 150 fascinating works: from masterpieces by El Greco, Zurbarán, Velázquez and Goya to sculptures, paintings, silk textiles, ceramics, lustreware, silverwork, precious jewellery, maps, drawings, illuminated manuscripts and stunning decorative lacquerware from Latin America.
The exhibition features the famous World Map of 1526 by Giovanni Vespucci, and culminates with Sorolla’s colourful, large-scale study for his monumental series of 14 paintings, Vision of Spain.
Founded in New York in 1904, the Hispanic Society Museum & Library is home to the most extensive collection of Spanish art outside of Spain. Presented for the first time in the UK, it will offer visitors a chance to trace the great diversity of cultures and religions – from Celtic to Islamic, Jewish and Christian – that have shaped and enriched what we today understand as Spanish culture.
