I loved the talavera bell. My husbands yoga class collects them and they used a different one in every class. It has a unique sound. And they have to identify it with eyes closed.
It arrived in a beautiful woven bag from Guatemala. The pigs are darling. My only concern is the 10 year old recipient might get it wet. I am not sure if the designs would run. So, I will enclose a note with the card from the artist to keep the piggies dry.
