Talavera - the most valued traditional Mexican ceramic art. Developed over 1,000 years ago in Spain, Talavera first appeared in Mexico through decorative tile work applied to the facade of churches. Our collection represents the finest handmade work and traditional ceramic techniques. Talavera is solidly crafted and strong enough for everyday use. All pieces are food-safe and suitable for dishwasher, microwave, and oven temperatures of up to 250 degrees.
