Ceramic Winged Hearts

These are quite special talavera ceramics from Puebla, Mexico.  Intricately hand painted, the larger size (11"x5"x2") hearts have wings, and the smaller size (7"x4"x.75") are flaming hearts with wings.  All are very vibrant!  Some are more monochromatic than others, let us know if you have a preference.

Mexican Talavera draws its name from the 16th century Spanish pottery center, Talavera de la Reina. The rich Talavera pottery heritage was introduced to Mexico by Spanish guild artisans of the Colonial period. Commonly called "majolica" in Spain. While the intricate polychrome and more typical blue and white designs show their Old World legacy, native floral and animal motifs claim these colorful ceramics as classically Mexican.
