The Route of the Museums of Caesaraugusta
Zaragoza, Spain

Ataifor with slightly flared edge, rounded lip and somewhat thickened on the outside; hemispherical body; and bottom with vertical ring foot.

It was made with whitish calcareous paste and thick degreasing in mixed cooking.

On an interior and exterior tin glaze, it was decorated with the technique of gilded earthenware in garnet color, with a sgraffito border with a central epigraphic motif framed by plants in reserve. On the outside, a horizontal molding with a rounded section is observed in the approximate middle area of the body.

According to research by Aránzazu Mendívil, this typology is common in chronologies from the late 19th century. X at the end of the XI.

Similar ataifores with a sinuous profile were located under the Paseo de la Independencia; and parallel decorative motifs were found both in the excavations of the Aljafería and in the Albarracín Castle. Furthermore, there are parallels in Huesca and Calatayud.
