Talavera Background T alavera pottery is the Mexican variation of the Spanish majolica ware originally produced in Talavera de la Reina and other Spanish cities. Spanish majolica was derived from Italian Renaissance Majolica, with Moorish, Islamic, and Far Eastern influences. The craft was brought to Mexico immediately following the Conquest (1500's) when the Spanish settled the city of Puebla. This very beautiful glazed pottery was originally produced in Puebla only by Spanish artisans under strict guild control. Glazing had been unknown in pre-Hispanic Mexico. The stylish pottery and tiles were produced in great quantities by well-organized potteries to meet the need for tableware, architectural tiles, and utilitarian pottery in the New World. Today Talavera pottery (named for its Spanish city of origin) is made in the towns of Puebla and Dolores Hidalgo. You can often see the influence of Moorish designs in Mexican Talavera, but the Mexican influence is t also in floral designs and copies of famous Mexican paintings and other images

Talavera Facts Talavera is product that has a usual rough surface and flaws like any handmade item, these slight variations and "imperfections" add to the beauty of it and make each piece unique.
