Large polychromed dish or platter (due to its size), with an embossed fictitious recreation of a medieval king and queen, with the application of a sunken seal in the base of the piece.
It was molded and finished in a lathe, covered with glassy tin-glazed enamel which is now crackled. The firing process was carried out using of tripods on circles attached to the base of the piece. It is signed Ventosa/Uriarte at the base.
During the twenties, as part of the Arts & Crafts movement, which Ventosa applied to his work, there was a tendency towards the recovery of the past and the manual production of objects, which explains the images of medieval inspiration such as this idyllic figures of a king and a queen with an undefined armory and a posture imitating the position of a chair that is not seen by the spectator.
The use of the sunken seal or stamp on the base of the piece to emboss the figures is recovered by Ventosa from techniques of Catalan ceramics and, except for this dish and another from what seems to have been a series, the technique has no previous record in talavera.
A platter with very similar features, among them the application of the stamp to emboss the medieval king and queen (in this case already including the two chairs of the throne and the crown), appears as part of the collection of the Hispanic Society, attributed to Ventosa. It is not specified if it has a seal from Ventosa himself or from Uriarte.
