This piece has been carefully handled and has no obvious flaws, no chip, cracks, or crazing. Definition Wikipedia: Talavera, in Puebla, Mexico, is a type of maiolica pottery, which is distinguished by a white glaze.[1] 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.[2] Much of this pottery was decorated only in blue, but colors such as yellow, black, green, orange and mauve have also been used.[3] Maiolica 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. The industry had grown sufficiently that by the mid-17th century, standards and guilds had been established which further improved the quality, leading Puebla into what is called the "golden age" of Talavera pottery (from 1650 to 1750).[2] Formally, the tradition that developed there is called Talavera Poblana to distinguish it from the similarly named Talavera pottery of Spain. It is a mixture of Italian, Spanish and indigenous ceramic techniques.[1] Large Piggy Bank Mexican Talavera Ceramic Folk Art Hand Painted Blue, Yellow Click images to enlarge Description The piggy bank and Mexican Pottery aficionados will love this adorable large vintage Talavera ceramic pig produced and hand painted in the 1970's-early 1980's in Cholua Mexico.
