Ceramic Wall, Barcelona
A stunning example of Gaudi's work in this Spanish park. What finer place to sit and relax in the sun for a while? Designer and architect Antoni Gaudí (1852-1926) was at the forefront of the Art Nouveau movement in Spain. Barcelona saw the creation of some of the city's most notable landmarks. Gaudí was a pioneer in his field using color, texture and movement in ways never before imagined. His works are a testament to his genius.

Navy Flower Power Egg
The first painted eggs came from Mesopotamia, and because eggs were forbidden food during Lent, people painted eggs while Lent was being observed—after Lent, they would eat the eggs on Easter Day.

Beautifully decorated eggs “pysanka” are associated with Ukraine, and the oldest painted egg that was unearthed in northern Ukraine is dated to the end of the 17th century.

Feline Trio
Are these cats saying "See no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil"? Dear me, no! I imagine our ginger friend on the left is saying, "Dude, where's my breakfast?" The innocent looking feline in the middle is thinking: "Why doesn't this human put the fire on?" And the grey cat is wishing you would stop whatever pointless activity you're engaged in and set his clockwork mouse going, or dragging a lure across the carpet for him to pounce on.

Delftware Box in Blue and White
An exquisite egg-shaped glazed ceramic Delftware box with its neat little clasp stands ready to guard your treasure! Delftware, also known as Delft Blue is mostly blue and white pottery made in Delft, the Netherlands. Delftware is one of the types of tin-glazed earthenware in which a white glaze is applied, usually decorated with metal oxides, in particular the cobalt oxide that gives the usual blue, and can withstand high firing temperatures, allowing it to be applied under the glaze.

Fan-Shaped Mosaic Tiling
This is a stunning example of a mosaic of geometrically arranged ceramic tiles making a unique and extremely hard wearing flooring. The word mosaic comes from the Greek mousa, meaning a muse. Mousa is the root for the Late Latin word musivum, signifying "decorations with small set stones”, which relates to the Medieval Latin word musaicum. The word was adapted to the French mosaïque, which means “mosaic work,” before becoming the Middle English word “mosaic” at some stage in the fifteenth century. Phew!

Bright Mosaic
Mosaic art has been made for a very long time. The earliest known mosaic is from Mesopotamia in the third millennium BCE. It featured stones, shells and ivory. Mosaic work became more complex in Ancient Greece and during the Roman Empire—the Ancient Greeks and Romans created images and patterns as wall art and floor mosaics for large public structures.
