6-Inch Green & Multicolour Talavera Style Ceramic Flower Pot, "Holiday Garden"

Isabelle Collins evokes a cool green garden where blossoms abound. Her handcrafted ceramic flower pot whispers of bright summer mornings and relaxing holiday afternoons. Working in the style and technique of classic Talavera pottery, the Mexican artisan selects cheerful and vivid colors.

"We use the same techniques and styles used in 16th-century Puebla. Classic Talavera used only six colors, all of which were natural glazes compounded at home with mineral pigments. We create our homemade paintbrushes using mule hair or horsehair from the mane or tail, according to the thickness desired for our motifs," the artisan explains.
