Illustration
A public staircase in Lisbon, Portugal showing azulejos (glazed ceramic tiles). During the early 18th century CE, Portuguese tile artisans fell under the influence of Ming Dynasty (1368-1644 CE) Chinese porcelain design and Dutch Delftware both of which led to the unique cobalt blue and white visual appearance of the Portuguese tiles that are seen all over Portugal today. Date of photo not known.
