Production of Talavera 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 origin of Talavera pottery begins in China
where glazed pottery began. Chinese techniques
and designs were brought to Spain via Majorca by
the Moors by the end of the 12th century. From
there it spread to the rest of Europe, under the
name majolica. Spanish craftsmen near Toledo,
Spain, adopted and added to the art form.

Further Chinese and Italian influences were
incorporated as the craft evolved in Spain, and
guilds were formed to regulate the quality
Pre-Hispanic cultures had their own tradition of
pottery and ceramics, but they did not involve a
potter's wheel or glazing.

decorate their new monasteries, so to keep up

monks taught indigenous artists to produce
the glazed pottery
