The Talavera style of pottery was introduced to Mexico in the Colonial period by Spanish artisans from the Spanish pottery-making center, Talavera de la Reina. Traditional Talavera, a type of majolica, or tin-glazed earthenware, is decorated blue on white but Mexican artisans have introduced more colorful patterns depicting animals, insects, and flowers. True Mexican Talavera pottery is from the Puebla area and is certified by Consejo Regulador de la Talavera, a Mexican governmental entity. However, in reality, almost any type of colorful Mexican pottery (usually color on a white glaze background) is informally called Talavera. At La Paloma, I purchased decorative pottery for my kitchen to give it a colorful south-of-the-border look.
