Azulejos products are authentic to both Portugal and Spain. They have a long history in both countries, and both have their own distinct styles and traditions. 

While both Portuguese and Spanish azulejos are beautiful glazed tiles, there are some key stylistic differences:

• Color Palette:
  • Portugal: Often known for their intricate blue and white designs, or a more limited palette with additional colors like yellow and green. These blue tones can range from cobalt to a lighter cerulean.
  • Spain: Spanish azulejos tend to embrace a wider range of colors, incorporating vibrant hues like red, yellow, and green. You might also see more geometric patterns influenced by Islamic art.
• Design Motifs:
  • Portugal: Portuguese azulejos frequently depict geometric or floral patterns, as well as scenes portraying historical events, religious figures, everyday life, or landscapes. The blue and white palette often lends itself to a more detailed and intricate style.
  • Spain: Spanish azulejos can include geometric patterns, but they might also feature more abstract or stylized motifs. Scenes depicted could be religious, but also include themes from mythology or hunting scenes. The broader color palette allows for a bolder and more theatrical style.
• Technique:
• • Both: Both countries primarily use the majolica technique, where a white glaze is applied to the tile first, and then the design is painted on top.
  • Spain: Spain may also incorporate the cuerda seca method, which uses a wax resist to create raised lines between different colored glazes.
