A Portuguese Ceramic Style in a Global Trade (16th-18th centuries)

Summary

This is a poster submission presented at the 2021 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology.

A lot has been said about the globalization and consumption of Portuguese redwares and the relation in the daily life of different people around the world in the 16th, 17th, and 18th centuries. However, in spite of these approaches the basic definition of what was made in Portugal, the morphological specifications, and their meanings are still in development. This poster will focus on a specific type of wares, the so-called ‘moulded wares’ of delicate cups produced in Lisbon, reflecting an articulation of early modern European elements and knowledge. These cups were mostly consumed in wealthy environments and exported to Europe and in the Americas, suggesting that a small group of potters has mastered with exclusivity their production.
