Signed Handmade Talavera Style Nativity (3 Pieces), "Puebla Nativity"

Isabelle Collins in Mexico employs the same methods that have been employed in Puebla for hundreds of years to create this Talavera-style nativity scene. Two kinds of local clay must be cleaned, dried, kneaded and molded before being fired at high temperatures and carefully painted by hand. The three-piece set includes Mary, Joseph, and the Baby Jesus, all beautifully decorated in traditional cobalt blue and white.
