Three Spanish Islantes

These small pots, bought in Spain, were mortared in place in layers within the two courses of a building’s outer walls to form a humidity barrier. Created by the Moors during their reign in Spain (a rather clever early insulation). We thought they made charming flower vases and sure to be a conversion piece.
