Desk table. Mahogany wood. 19th century. Rectangular table top decorated with a band of plant motifs on the outer edge, waist enhanced with bands carved with ova and plant motifs of classicist influence and legs decorated with an elegant cabriole shape and carved motifs (scrolls, bows and simple plant themes that extend along the waist of the piece of furniture) finished with very simplified claw shapes holding balls. This finish on the legs also appears in Chippendale examples and in American works and, apparently, was a theme inspired by works from the Far East, replacing the dragon's leg with the sphere with a lion's (thus showing English supremacy) and making it very popular in England during, approximately, the first half of the 18th century, and later recovering it.

Jug from Villafeliche, Aragon, 18th century. Glazed ceramic. Late Baroque style jug made of ceramic and decorated with high-temperature enamels on a white tin slip. These enamelled motifs are combined with mould-made relief decorations. The typology of the piece combines the Italian jug, with an ovoid belly and vertically arched handle, with that of the typically Spanish spouted jug, characterised by the protruding spout that starts from the mouth. The decorations reveal an oriental influence, with large floral bouquets arranged asymmetrically and complex landscapes with architecture and palm trees, in which some figures are removed, these now totally western. The motifs appear brushed in manganese black, and coloured with mainly ochre, blue, green and red enamels. Aragonese pottery from the 17th to the 19th century was characterised by a strong personality, combined with the influences of Talavera and Catalonia. It had three main centres: Teruel, Muel and Villafeliche, the first two with a tradition dating back to the 16th century, and the third created at the end of the 17th century. The pottery from Villafeliche was generally very popular, although pieces of greater quality and complexity, both typological and ornamental, were also made in the 18th century.
