I love these plates!
I am in love. I have been looking at and collecting Talavera -- most "vintage." These plates however are new. The colors are more brilliant and deep; the plates are solid and smooth; and though I did not think I would say this I love them more. I kissed the plate this morning just because it is so beautiful! These 12 inch dinner plates are large and would make wonderful serving plates also. I have the bowls too and love them also!
A Stunning Homage to Día de los Muertos
After visiting Mexico and falling in love with the warmth of its people and the richness of its culture, I began searching for the perfect Catrina—one that truly honored the spirit and artistry of Día de los Muertos. I was looking for something of impressive quality and timeless beauty, and I found exactly that in this piece by Luis Morales. This sculpture is nothing short of magnificent. The craftsmanship is exquisite—formed by hand from clay and painted with meticulous care in vibrant shades of red, silver, gold, and blue. The figure has an undeniable presence; she's elegant, dignified, and deeply expressive. Every time I look at her, I’m reminded of the beauty of Mexican traditions and the artistry that keeps them alive. This sculpture proudly graces my mantel and continues to spark admiration from everyone who sees it.
