The ceramics that gave a style its name

Historical milestone · Ciempozuelos, Las Vegas, Madrid

Image of Ciempozuelos, not of the place itself.

Two emergency campaigns brought to light in 1894 a group of bell beakers decorated with incisions filled with white paste. Their quality led prehistorians to name a whole peninsular variant the "Ciempozuelos style".

1894-1895
