Southwest Pottery Collection Mexican Talavera    We offer a selection of Talavera pottery of Puebla, Mexico it is a type of majolica pottery, which is distinguished by a milky-white glaze. Authentic Talavera pottery only comes from the city of Puebla and the nearby communities of Atlixco, Cholula, and Tecali, because of the quality of the natural clay found there and the tradition of production which goes back to the 16th century.Much of this pottery was decorated only in blue, but colors such as yellow, black, green, orange and mauve have also been used. Majolica pottery was brought to Mexico by the Spanish in the first century of the colonial period. Production of this ceramic became highly developed in Puebla because of the availability of fine clays and the demand for tiles from the newly established churches and monasteries in the area.    If you don't see something you like at this time check back from time to time because we will be putting other pottery in our store.  Please Note:    Our Talavera Mexican pottery is hand made so there may be a slight difference in appearance.
