‘China-ware in the skies’: overlapping identities in the ornamental use of plates in Uruguay

Daniel Schávelzon; Francisco Girelli

Abstract This is the study of a church where tableware manufactured in Great Britain was used to decorate the façade in the early 19th century. An argument is made that this one surviving case points to a larger regional tradition, now lost, whose greatest exponent was Montevideo Cathedral, Uruguay. The hypothesis presented here is that the use of British plates in religious façades shortly before the South American Wars of Independence was part of a search for identity in a region trying to break away from Spain, and in the process of becoming a small republic between the two larger countries of Argentina and Brazil. RÉSUMÉ ‘Porcelaine dans les cieux’: croisement d’identités dans l’utilisation ornementale d’assiettes en Uruguay L’article traite d’une église dont la façade était décorée avec de la vaisselle de table fabriquée en Grande-Bretagne au début du XIXe siècle. L’exemple qui nous est parvenu témoignerait d’un style traditionnel régional plus large désormais disparu, dont le plus grand représentant était la Cathédrale de Montevideo, en Uruguay. Les auteurs suggèrent que l’emploi d’assiettes britanniques dans des façades religieuses peu de temps avant les guerres d’indépendance sud-américaines révèle en partie une volonté de se détacher de l’Espagne et la recherche d’identité d’une région qui devient une petite république entre deux grands pays: l’Argentine et le Brésil. ZUSAMMENFASSUNG ‘Porzellan aus dem Himmel’: überlappende Gleichheit in ornamentaler Benutzung von Tellern in Uruguay Diese Studie behandelt eine Kirche, in der im frühen 19ten Jahrhundert in England produzierte Teller zur Dekoration in die Außenfassade eingelassen waren. Es wird vorgeschlagen, daß dieses einzig überlebende Beispiel auf eine weiter reichende regionale Tradition hinweist, deren größtes nun verlorenes Beispiel die Kathedrale in Montevideo, Uruguay, gewesen ist. Die Autoren schlagen weiter vor, daß der Gebrauch von britischen Tellern in religiösen Fassaden kurz vor den Unabhängigkeiskriegen in Südamerika Teil einer Suche nach Identität einer Religion war, ein Versuch sich von Spanien zu lösen und eine kleine Republik zwischen zwei viel größeren und mächtigeren Ländern, Argentinien und Brasilien, zu werden. RIASSUNTO ‘Porcellane nei cieli’: sovrapposizione di diverse identità nell’uso di piatti ornamentali in Uruguay Proponiamo qui lo studio di una chiesa in cui del vasellame da tavola prodotto in Gran Bretagna fu usato per decorarne la facciata dei primi dell’Ottocento. Suggeriamo che quest’unico esempio superstite è spia di una più amplia tradizione regionale, in seno alla quale la cattedrale di Montevideo in Uruguay rappresentava il più importante esempio di questo stile, ormai perduto. Gli autori si spingono oltre, suggerendo che l’impiego di piatti Britannici in facciate di edifici religiosi, poco prima dell’inizio della guerra d’indipendenza in Sud America, è riconducibile alla ricerca di identità di una regione che cercava di rompere con la Spagna mentre diventava una piccola repubblica confinante con Argentina e Brasile, stati molto più grandi e potenti. RESUMEN ‘Loza en los cielos’: identidades superpuestas en el uso decorativo de platos en Uruguay Este artículo estudia una iglesia en cuya fachada se utilizó vajilla británica de principios del siglo XIX y propone que este ejemplo, el único que sobrevive, fue parte de una moda regional más amplia que cuenta como máximo exponente la Catedral de Montevideo, capital del Uruguay. Se plantea la hipótesis de que el uso de platos británicos en las fachadas religiosas poco antes de las guerras de Independencia sudamericanas formó parte de la búsqueda de una identidad propia en una región que intentaba separarse definitivamente de España y convertirse en una pequeña república entre dos grandes países: Argentina y Brasil.

On slaves and beer: the first images of the South Sea Company slave market in Buenos Aires

Daniel Schávelzon

Images of the Retiro slave market in Buenos Aires had never been seen previously and the possibility of excavating the site has long gone. The discovery of etchings of the underground cellars in 2010 of the Bieckert Brewery, which occupied the site years later, has made it possible to see the nature of the market and understand the functioning of the construction that preceded the brewery. This market was unique in the city in that it functioned almost underground. The issue of the presence of the African population in Buenos Aires has had a great impact on archaeology. All information regarding the black populations material culture and architectural places, whether made by them or for them, is important; such is the case here of accessing a system of vaulted subterranean constructions quite different from the citys other architecture.
