This 16th century Spanish eating bowl was dipped halfway in green glaze. The fact that this sort of dishware from Spain was also found in the Low Countries shows that this sort of pottery was popular as trading goods in that period. There were regular trading contacts between Flanders, Holland, the Rhine land and the region of the Iberian Peninsula. In mediaeval Bruges, the centre of this trade, lived a large community of Spanish merchants. The Spanish trade with the Dutch regions stopped with the closing off of the Schelde at the end of the 16th century.
