The combination of cobalt blue and copper-red lustre is rare in fifteenth-century Spanish pottery. An attribution to Manises in Valencia has been suggested, though it may be the work of Valencian craftsmen who had emigrated to Catalonia. This jar may be of the type described as pots blaus regalats ("pots melted with blue") in a document of 1449 (see Ray 2000, p.89)
