Its elegant form includes a wide spout, curved handle, and generous body, making it equally suited for display or functional use. The underside is marked “Lead Free Mexico,” confirming its safe usability.
Talavera pottery traces its roots to 16th-century Puebla, where Spanish majolica techniques blended with Indigenous artistry to create a unique ceramic tradition.
