An exceptional, large-format hand-painted dinnerware and serving collection from Cerámica Cruz, a family pottery workshop in El Puente del Arzobispo, Toledo — a region whose ceramic tradition is recognized as UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage. Each piece is hand-painted in the region's classic blue-and-ochre palette, and the set's standout feature is a matching group of seven lidded apothecary jars styled after historic pharmacy vessels, several inscribed with Latin remedy names in the old botica tradition. What's included (91 pieces total): 12 Dinner Plates 12 Salad Plates 12 Bread Plates 13 Latte Cups 12 Saucers 11 Bowls 2 Large Serving Bowls 1 Serving Tray 1 Teapot 1 Coffee Pot 1 Water Pitcher 1 Sugar Bowl 1 Creamer 1 Oil Cruet 1 Vinegar Cruet 1 Salt Shaker 1 Pepper Shaker 7 Apothecary Jars with Lids A genuinely rare find at this scale and completeness — few Puente del Arzobispo sets survive intact with matching serving pieces, cruets, and a full run of apothecary jars together. A striking statement collection for a large kitchen, dining room, or display shelf, and a favorite for collectors of Spanish folk pottery. As authentic hand-painted pottery, pieces show natural variation in glaze and brushwork — a hallmark of genuine artisan craftsmanship, not a flaw. Comparable price at different website: Using the Cruz-specific comps as anchors and reasonable estimates for the pieces on Etsy, adding up your 91 pieces individually (12 dinner plates ~$40 each, 12 salad plates ~$30, 12 bread plates ~$22, 12 cup-and-saucer sets ~$33/set plus 1 extra cup, 11 bowls ~$29, 2 large serving bowls ~$65, teapot/coffeepot ~$100 each, pitcher ~$75, sugar/creamer ~$30 each, oil/vinegar cruets ~$40 each, salt/pepper ~$18 each, 7 apothecary jars ~$55 each, and the serving tray ~$125) comes out to roughly $2,700–$3,000 if you had to hunt down and buy every piece separately from vintage sellers.
