Talavera pottery is a type of majolica earthenware (Red Body Ceramic with Glaze) of a distinct creamy- white glazed decoration produced only in the State of Puebla in Mexico. Talavera Poblana is the oldest tin-glazed ceramic in America and it is still being manufactured with the same techniques as in the 16th Century.The ornate patterns are immediately reminiscent of the hacienda ranch look it is unlike the Terre Cotta tiles normally associated with Mexico in that it has a glaze, an ornate artwork and is fired to make it Ceramic.Authentic Talavera pottery is the ceramic ware produced by certified workshops in the state of Puebla Mexico following the traditional Talavera process introduced by the Spaniards in the 16th Century.
Here is a site that explains their technique quite nicely:The ancient techniques employed to make ceramics are still used today - mostly in the rural parts of Mexico. It's curious how these groups were able to preserve their artistic techniques - coil building, open firing, natural pigments - and yet they lost their original language and their religion.When the Spaniards arrived, the blending of societies allowed the indigenous people to learn new techniques, and the combination of styles gave life to some of the more famous ceramic styles of Mexican earthenware, such as the "majolica" or Talavera.
