HISTORY: 

Mexican pottery boasts a rich history that dates back to ancient civilizations such as the Maya, Aztec, and Olmec, who used clay for both functional and ceremonial objects. These early cultures developed distinct pottery techniques and styles, marking significant advances in ceramics. With the arrival of the Spanish in the 16th century, indigenous traditions blended with European methods, introducing techniques like glazing and the potter's wheel. This fusion led to the creation of uniquely Mexican styles such as Talavera from Puebla, characterized by its intricate, colorful patterns. Today, Mexican pottery remains a vital art form, reflecting the country's diverse cultural heritage and artisanal craftsmanship.
