This is a lovely ceramic dish with hand-painted designs and a gorgeous glazed finish. It arrived looking just as advertised. Talavera is beautiful and this artisan is very good at it. The dish arrived carefully wrapped and perfect.
I do appreciate these artists who create the Oaxacan detail techniques of painting and carving. This is a great example of how that is done. I will look forward to collecting more from these artisans!
I have collected some Talavera and this is just gorgeous -- and seems very smooth, beautiful, functional, and sturdy all at the same time. A pleasure to eat from!
