Besides the ancient Iberian ceramics - Ceramic Schools began in Spain after the Islamic conquests in North Africa spread to the Omayyad Kingdom of Spain ( AbdurRahman I in 756 AD ) and thence to the rest of Europe. England imported Malaga lustre as early as 1303.

The golden age of Spanish ceramics began mid 13th century. Schools grew from Malaga to Murcia and Manises ( Valencia ). Each province of Spain has their traditional tile designs. Traditions of the Muslim mingled with Romanesque - Gothic - or whatever European fashion was then current. It was easier to transport artists than ceramics and the ceramics centers grew throughout Europe ( delft - Italy - majolica ).
