Spain has been painting pots this blue for four hundred years. Found in Béziers, this Andaluz sugar pot has a small round cream-glazed body, two looped handles, and a domed lid, the cobalt trailed across it in loose swirls. Before factory dyes existed, the blue came from raw cobalt the Andalusian potters hauled over the Sierra Nevada by mule from Almería, and because the mineral was never pure, no two were ever painted quite the same shade. Sylvie keeps it on the table filled with sugar, or on a shelf where the swirl of blue does the work on its own.
