Azulejos, such a beautiful and ancient tradition. Vastly predating the Dutch import of porcelain work techniques from China.
In fact, it could perhaps be traced all the way back through time to the ancient near east. The blue and yellow painted bricks of the Babylonian Ishtar Gate. ?? Finding it’s way to Spain and Portugal with the Moors. ??
It’s just a theory.
Absolutely beautiful in any case!

"Finding its way to Spain and Portugal with the Moors" is absolutely correct! 🙂
