Matador character jug - Capodimonte circa 1975

Matador character jug produced by Capodimonte of Italy circa 1975. A matador, or bullfighter, is a performer in the activity of bullfighting, describing all the performers in the activity of bullfighting as practized in Spain, Portugal, Mexico, Peru, France, Colombia, Ecuador, Venezuela and other countries influenced by Portuguese and Spanish culture. The main performer and leader of the entourage in a bullfight, and who finally kills the bull, is addressed as maestro (master), or with the formal title matador de toros (killer of bulls). The other bullfighters in the entourage are called subalternos and their suits are embroidered in silver as opposed to the matador's gold. They include the picadores, rejoneadores, and banderilleros.
