Zacatlan Flowers Ceramic 7-Inch Soup Bowls from Mexico (Pair)

Pedro Tecayehuatl

(89)

Flowers blossom with an exuberant feast of colors on soup bowls designed in the Talavera style of the state of Puebla. The motifs are painted by hand over the ivory-color ceramic bowls with a palette that includes yellow-orange, blue, and green flowers over a crisscross network of dots and crosses. Bordered by a black honeycomb, this pair of bowls comes from the 'Zacatlán Flowers' collection designed by Pedro Tecayehuatl.

Talavera is a distinctive art form brought to Mexico by artisans from Talavera de la Reina, Spain. The ceramic artisans of Puebla, Mexico then incorporated Chinese designs, thus creating the blue and oyster-white patterns traditionally associated with Talavera Poblana. Today there are also more "contemporary" designs that include yellow, green, orange, mauve, black and red.

National and international conventions require that a rigorous procedure be followed in the elaboration of authentic Talavera-style ceramics. Each individual piece will be slightly different, and therefore a unique work of art.

Comforting colorful cross

Birthday gift for a best friend who is devout. She called me this week to let me know her gift arrived and was nicely wrapped. She said it was beautiful and she loved the vibrant colors. She had already chosen the perfect location for it on her bedroom wall. I've started checking Novica's artisan creations each time I want to make a gift purchase for a friend or family member.

This is a Christmas present for my granddaughter

It is the cutest, "hippie" elephant I've ever seen! I am sure she will love it (she loves flowers and bright colors and her higher power animal is an elephant.) Very pleased with my purchase. As always, Novica's shipping process is beyond wonderful with every item packaged with care along with the lovely cards from the artists. Thank you Napat for your sweet, charming creation!
