Talavera

Talavera is a hand painted process on ceramics with its roots originating in Spain.  The majolica  technique is laborious and requires a skilled craftsman or artist to execute the process.  Once the pottery has been fired from greenware to bisque, the skilled craftsman/artist uses glazes and stains to hand paint each piece.  After completion the pottery is fired at a high temperature.  The end result is a high quality piece of ceramic depicting a visual image.  The Mexican Talavera tradition of painting originated in Puebla.  The traditional color palettes are white, blues, yellows, oranges, reds and greens.
