Abstract
Four Nasrid jars are studied, three in blue and gold lustre and one glazed green. The fine item in the British Museum, dated c. 1353-1363, with the tree of life in upright and reverse positions, probably belonged to the sovereign´s own tableware. Two in the I.V.D.J., with decorative horizontal bands are c. 1390-1420; one with the Nasrid coat-of-arms would belong to the royal household, the other with epigraphic errors to a prosperous citizen. The fourth, glazed green, a popular item for liquids, was found in the Alhambra with its neck broken.
