Fajalauza ceramics is a type of traditional Spanish pottery originating from the town of Fajalauza in the province of Granada, Andalusia. It has a history dating back to the 16th century, during the reign of the Nasrid dynasty. The ceramics were renowned for their intricate designs, which were influenced by the Mudéjar style and featured geometric patterns, calligraphy, and floral motifs. Fajalauza ceramics were exported throughout Spain and beyond, becoming a symbol of Andalusian culture and art. Despite a decline in popularity in the 20th century, Fajalauza ceramics has seen a revival in recent years and continues to be produced in the traditional style today.

Modern Fajalauza ceramics still incorporate traditional designs, such as floral patterns, geometric designs, and Arabic calligraphy, but often feature more contemporary and abstract motifs as well. The ceramics are also available in a wider range of colors and forms, including plates, vases, and other decorative objects. The glazing techniques used in modern Fajalauza ceramics have also evolved, allowing for greater detail and a wider range of finishes, including matte, glossy, and textured. Overall, modern Fajalauza ceramics continue to blend traditional techniques with contemporary aesthetics, and are highly valued for their beauty and quality.
