The "Spanish manufacture of bibelots" refers to the production in Spain of bibelots, that is to say, small decorative objects without a clear practical function, like figurines, ornaments, miniatures or ornamental pieces, generally made in materials like porcelain, ceramic, glass or metal; they are usually used to decorate shelves, showcases or furniture and can have an artisan or industrial character, often standing out for their aesthetic, collectible or even artistic value.
