Talavera pottery is the prime reason to shop. Puebla is the home of Talavera. The best Talavera is stamped with the number 4 in a circle. Stamped pottery was made to the highest standards following the traditional methods. The best known talavera is from the house of Uriarte.
Uriarte employs the traditional methods.
The process involves shaping, kiln drying, stenciling the pattern, hand painting, and kiln drying again. The highest quality pieces are sometimes painted freehand.
When visiting, be sure to check out the half off table. These are first quality pieces, but discontinued styles. We bought a large plate and bowl, as well as 3 cups and saucers from the discount table.
