| Description |
In the early 14th century, under the reign of
Jaime I, the lordship of of the city of Manises
was
acquired by
the Boil family, which introduced from
Andalusia,
especially from Malaga, the savoir-faire of
lusterware
pottery.
Manises ceramics of golden and blue
lusterware prevailed throughout Europe until
the
late 16th century, being known in many places
as
"work of Valencia" or "Mallorca", because of
the
origin of the seafarers who traded with it.
