serveware for entertaining

Upgrade your kitchenware collection with this versatile pair of bowls, perfect for prepping ingredients, serving condiments and beyond. Handcrafted in Thailand using the ancient technique of celadon ceramics, artisan Kanda’s practical yet chic accessories are adorned with intricate hand-painted lotus flower, leaf and butterfly motifs, adding a touch of elegance to your culinary experience.

Flowers blossom with an exuberant feast of colors on a serving bowl designed in the Talavera style of the state of Puebla. The motifs are painted by hand over the ivory-color ceramic bowl with a palette that includes yellowish-orange, blue, and green flowers over a crisscross network of dots and crosses. Bordered by a black honeycomb, this beautiful dish comes from the 'Zacatlán Flowers' collection designed by Pedro Tecayehuatl.

Talavera is a distinctive art form brought to Mexico by artisans from Talavera de la Reina, Spain. The ceramic artisans of Puebla, Mexico then incorporated Chinese designs, thus creating the blue and oyster-white patterns traditionally associated with Talavera Poblana. Today there are also more "contemporary" designs that include yellow, green, orange, mauve, black and red.

National and international conventions require that a rigorous procedure be followed in the elaboration of authentic Talavera-style ceramics. Each individual piece will be slightly different, and therefore a unique work of art.
