This traditional Talavera blue and oyster-white patterned lidded bowl is crafted and painted entirely by hand by skilled artisans in Mexico. It measures 5.5” x 5.5” x 4” and marked on the bottom. The signature on the base is a common feature of Talavera pieces.
Talavera Pottery is tin-enameled earthenware, also known as Majolica pottery, traditionally produced in Puebla, Mexico, and its nearby communities. It has a rich history, evolving from Spanish traditions (From Talavera de la Reina, Spain) introduced in the 15th century and incorporating Mesoamerican influences, making it a significant part of Mexican cultural heritage. Genuine Talavera pottery adheres to specific production methods, including using a mix of two clays sourced from the Talavera geographic zone, hand-forming, hand-painting with natural pigments (painted only in one or more of six colors: black, blue, green, orange, yellow, or mauve), and two firings at high temperatures. Authentic Talavera often features floral motifs, geometric designs, animals, and architectural elements.
