Talavera is a type of majolica earthenware, a white glazed pottery, originally from the town of Talavera de la Reina, in the province of Toledo, Spain. The pottery was originally produced only in the traditional blue and white colors, but over time, it has evolved to include a variety of colors and patterns. The most common colors used in Talavera pottery are blue, green, yellow, orange, and black.
Talavera pottery was first introduced to Mexico by Spanish artisans in the 16th century, and the craft quickly took root in the country. Talavera pottery is still produced in Mexico today, and the pieces are popular for their brightly colored designs and durability.
