Working in the time-honored tradition of Talavera ceramics, Ivan Martinez creates this pretty decorative plate. The plate is crafted from ceramic and painted by hand with 'La Calavera Catrina' before receiving the final glaze.

The original "La Calavera Catrina" was a zinc etching created by the artist José Guadalupe Posada in Mexico around 1910. Posada created the character, a female skeleton with an elegant hat, as a satirical portrait of Mexican natives who aspired to European style and denied their own heritage. The catrina has since become an emblem of Mexico's Day of the Dead celebration and a popular folk art subject.

A beautiful addition to a Talavera collection”

A beautifully handcrafted Talavera wall vase will occupy a place of honor on our covered patio. Artist Ivan Martinez creativity and artistic use of color make this piece a standout. “Hecho en México” has extra meaning for me. Arrived carefully packaged and on time. Thank you! Heartily recommend Novica whether shopping for gifts or for oneself.
