Talavera Handcrafted

Place Settings

from the Studios of

Maximo Huerta

Talavera stoneware was introduced to Mexico by Spanish guild artisans of the Colonial period, approximately 1700-1800. Called "majolica" in Spain, Mexican Talavera draws its name from the XVI century Spanish pottery center, Talavera de la Reina. While the intricate polychrome and more typical blue and white designs portray the old world legacy the new artisans also now combine the indigenous floral and celestial motifs.  The individually handcrafted pieces as featured on these pages are classically Mexican.

Every authentic piece of Talavera is made by hand in Puebla, Mexico, signed by the artist and is 100% lead free as well as microwave, oven, and dishwasher safe. The detail is outstanding, and due to the kiln’s high firing temperature all dishware is also crack and chip resistant.

All large plates and platters are made with an eyelet on the back for hanging on walls.
