THE CERAMIC FROM MANISES HISTORY

 

 

 

 

Without a doubt, one of the most important contributions as made to ceramics history  has been its gold irridescent production developed during Arab times in Spain and reached its maximum splendor in the 15th with blue decoration.

The 18th and 19th centuries were also very important in ceramics history. The techniques of «golden refection» or irridiscence were not abandoned but during this era polychromatic colours were incorporated, in tiles productions in the 1.700's. In the following century, the form pieces were notable for their imaginative decoration in intense blues. (MCM pieces).

The European artistic renovation movement of the last 19th and early 20th century had a strong effect where in the eclectic repertoire one can see the influences of Art Nouveau and Art Deco. (MCM)

The long and rich history of ceramics has also architectural repercussions which give a special character to the urban landscape and give it an undeniable connection to its most distinctive industrial activity.

The truth is that ceramics industry thrives due to the jealously-guarded artistic techniques and the vital tile and porcelain industry and its advanced technology.

The traditional ceramic style was redeveloped in the 20th century. Today it still covers the same broad range of styles from the golden lustre typical of the 15th century to the vibrant polychromatic colours of the 20th century.

Within the huge range ceramics, utilitarian pieces since ancient times have occupied a special place. Nowadays, garden pieces , kitchen tools and crockery for serving foods are the most important and diverse styles.

Constant research allows to incorporate continuously new designs, textures and glazes including the highly-valued glass finishes.

A pure style with distinctive detailing sets modern ceramics apart, Casanova Ceramics offers a complete range of decorative and utilitarian objects produced through advanced technology with the most rigorous attention to tradition, experience, and research. It is a good reason that Manises has come to be known throughout the world as «Ceramics City».
