Polychromed dish or platter, with the portrait of Cristopher Colombus in the center. It was made using fine light brown clay, 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 and probably kept in a ceramic box, since it does not show signs of direct firing.

The central figure of Colombus was probably copied with charcoal and finely outlined freehand in light blue, with the paintbrush barely touching the enamel. On the other hand, the bottom of the platter and the border were embossed in yellow and cobalt blue to give depth to the painting, applied with thick brushes practically without touching the enamel to avoid it from coming off.

Signed by Ventosa and Uriarte in dark blue at the base, the Uriarte workshop stamp is engraved at the center in the clay and covered by enamel.

The Arts & Crafts movement also sought to recover figures from the past, in this case Ventosa selected Christopher Columbus, for whom he seems to have had a particular iration, since his wife's hotel in the city of Puebla bore the same name. Ventosa made a series of platters using Colombus' portrait with similar characteristics, one of which can be seen in the Uriarte Museum in the city of Puebla.
