Dish

This piece belongs to what is known in archaeological terms as Abó Polícromo, of poblano origin or just Puebla polychrome, produced between 1650 and 1750 aprox. The motifs represented are phytomorphic, zoomorphic, anthropomorphic or geometric, with naturalistic representations, outlined in black and with vivid colors. Its main forms are "bowls", plates, tiles and jugs. It's a kind of fine china. The Abó correspond, according to the specialist Alfonso Pleguezuelo to a version of the series of polychrome Talavera (very similar to Montelupo in Italy). But the shape of the semi-spherical bowls so much to imitate the forms of Chinese porcelain, the dish shown here, of Italian influence, is similar to those that were made basically in Seville.

Plato type Puebla polychrome, the masculine dress of the figure of the plate, with layer and wig corresponds to the Spanish fashion between Felipe IV and Carlos II, between 1650 and 1680.
