Talavera ceramics, like many Mexican artisanal crafts, have over time blended features of both their indigenous roots and their European colonial influences. These beautiful pieces of Mexican pottery are named for the famed Talavera de la Reina pottery region in Spain, but ultimately expanded upon the Spanish traditions, incorporating use of the potters’ wheel, and then adding more colors and including motifs derived from the natural world. In excellent condition. Only one tiny chip in the underside of the tray. Tray Size: 12" x 12" Serving Portion Size: 7.5" x 7.5" Height: 2" Weight: 2 lbs. 10 oz.
