This is a handmade Mexican Talavera bowl made by Uriarte, a renowned brand.  Made and purchased during Uriarte family ownership. It features an elegant design and was purchased in 1974 at 4 PTE. Puebla. The provenance of the item is that I have owned this item for 50 years. The pitcher is a collectible item that represents Mexican culture and was manufactured at Uriarte's factory in Puebla Mexico.
