| Talavera
Traditional and contemporary, Talavera is a classic style
of pottery. Originally made in Spain, the style
of Talavera was brought to Mexico by the Spanish in the
1500's. The Talavera process involves two firings.
The first firing occurs at a little over 1550 degrees after
which the items are applied with an under-glaze. The pieces
are then decorated in the unique styles and patterns that
are handed down through the generations and represent the
beauty and fun of this style of pottery. The pottery is then
fired a 2nd time at over 1900 degrees sealing the colors in
a durable surface finish.
For outdoor use, during warm seasons and in warm
climates, no extra care is necessary. During freezing winter
seasons, keep in a dry area warm or cold.
