Classic Collection

From the workshops of Manises, the ceramic pieces traveled over the centuries to the great artistic centers of Europe and America.

Its metallic reflections—gold and copper on the white of tin—captivated kings, merchants, and collectors, becoming one of the most recognized symbols of Hispano-Moorish art.

Today, museums around the world preserve these works as a testament to the splendor of Valencian ceramics.

Each one represents the origin of a tradition that Arturo Mora continues to keep alive in his workshop, using the same techniques, materials, and respect for history.

Each of the pieces preserved in these museums is a silent testimony to the mastery that was born in Manises more than six centuries ago.

Its golden surfaces reflect not only the light, but also the history of a trade passed down from generation to generation.

Arturo Mora continues along the same path in his workshop, recreating the magic of metallic reflection with his hands, fire, and time.

Because true tradition is not preserved in display cases: it is kept alive every day, when the clay takes shape again and the shine of gold reappears on the enamel.
