It is the oldest tin glazed ceramic in America and still being manufactured the same way as in the 16 th century. The potters in Mexico have centuries of experience behind them and are able to use the abundance of quality clay in the region. The clays used to create Talavera must be obtained from the natural deposits in this zone. The pottery must be hand formed using clay from the natural deposits of the Talavera Zone.

Different colors can be created by mixing these pigments.
