Ceramic objects in the Pérez-Rosales collection

In this collection, we find a wide range of ceramic objects which correspond to different uses in the day-to-day lives of the people. Along with plates, bowls and drinking vessels that formed part of the tomb furnishings, we also have recipients for use in religious ceremonies, figurines representing humans and animals, and anthropomorphic shapes as well.

The study of these figures as a whole reveals the characteristics of each period and establishes some general lines of the aesthetic and technical evolution of such pieces.
