Flowers blossom with an exuberant feast of colors on bowls designed in the Talavera style of the state of Puebla. The motifs are painted by hand over the ivory-color ceramic bowls with a palette that includes yellowish-orange, blue, and green flowers over a crisscross network of dots and crosses. Bordered by a black honeycomb. Talavera is a distinctive art form brought to Mexico by artisans from Talavera de la Reina, Spain. The ceramic artisans of Puebla, Mexico then incorporated Chinese designs, thus creating the blue and oyster-white patterns traditionally associated with Talavera Poblana. Today there are also more 'contemporary' designs that include yellow, green, orange, mauve, black and red. National and international conventions require that a rigorous procedure is followed in the elaboration of authentic Talavera-style ceramics. Each piece will be slightly different, and therefore a unique work of art.
