Hand Painted Talavera Style Decorative Accent, "Flower Piggy"

This colorful piggy bank will make it a cinch to store all that loose change. Juana Ponce handcrafts it from ceramic with a gentle face and decorates it with Talavera-style floral designs. She uses custom mineral pigment blends to create its uniquely bright colors. A plastic stopper lets you withdraw your savings.

The Mexican artisan learned the art of ceramics from her father and now runs a workshop alongside her husband and her sons.
