Talavera pottery of Puebla, Mexico, is a type of
majolica pottery, which is distinguished by a
milky-white glaze.
3
Authentic Talavera pottery only comes from the
city of Puebla and the nearby communities of
Atlixco, Cholula, and Tecali, because of the
quality of the natural clay found there and the
tradition of production which goes back to the
16th century. Much of this pottery was decorated
only in blue, but colors such as yellow, black,
green, orange and mauve have also been used.
Majolica pottery was brought to Mexico by the
Spanish in the first century of the colonial
period.

Production of this ceramic became highly
developed in Puebla because of the availability
of fine clays and the demand for tiles from the
newly established churches and monasteries in the
area. The industry had grown sufficiently that by
the mid-17th century, standards and guilds had
been established which further improved the
quality, leading Puebla into what is called the
"golden age" of Talavera pottery (from 1650 to
1750). Formally, the tradition that developed
there is called Talavera Poblana to distinguish
it from the similarly named Talavera pottery of
Spain. It is a mixture of Italian, Spanish and
indigenous ceramic techniques.
