Set Of Three Sevillian Earthenware Tiles, 18th Century.

Set of three Sevillian earthenware tiles, 18th century. This remarkable set of three tiles, known as "single-pattern tiles," undoubtedly represents a particular era in Sevillian ceramics. Originally inspired by Delft tiles, these pieces helped to forge the city's aesthetic identity. Their production, quickly popularized, led to the proliferation of specialized workshops, responding to a growing demand, mainly from the wealthy classes and religious communities wishing to adorn their homes, convents, and palaces. Single-pattern tiles generally feature scenes from popular life, rural life, or hunting scenes in their center—often framed by a circle. In this case, they are the faces of young girls, treated with finesse and expression, testifying to the taste and expertise of 18th-century Sevillian ceramics.
