The Potter's Guild

In time, as the demand for Talavera pottery grew, a potter’s gild was formed (1653) and regulations were laid down. Since then all of the potters who wish to produce authentic Talavera must follow a strict and precise set of rules.

This action was taken in order to promise that the quality of the ceramics called Talavera will be uniform and that this earthenware will have a distinctive style and excellence.

Ceramic kilns

A kiln is a thermally insulated chambers or oven in which a controlled temperature regime is produced. Kilns are used for hardening, burning, or drying materials. In the field of pottery kilns are used to transform a clay based article into a ceramic material.

Satisfactory firing converts a relatively weak and porous material consisting of innumerable particles into a strong, single mass composed on a glassy phase interspersed with pores and crystalline material.

The fuel used may be electricity, oil, gas, or coal. The temperature of firing and the length of time required depend on the design of the kiln and the type of material being fired.

The city of Puebla was founded on April 16, 1531 as "La Puebla de Los Angeles". It was the first city in central Mexico founded by the Spanish conquistadors that was not built upon the ruins of a conquered Amerindian settlement. It was the unique combination of Spanish and Mexican cultures and styles that created the extraordinary Talavera designs we know today. Talavera mirrors, Ceramic painted tiles, Talavera frogs, Mexican pots, and Talavera dishes are only few of many examples for handmade ceramic products that are still being decorated with the colorful and creative designs of the 19th century. Today new shapes and sizes of Mexican pottery are being made in order to answer the over growing demand for earth ware. Every new design and shape relay upon the old traditions. In order to produce authentic Talavera item the potters have to maintain the appraised manufacturing process of old times
