27. Talavera Ceramic Plate
Donated by: Dr. Joaquin Becerril

Put your AASV pride on display when you serve your guests on this certified Talavera 8.6″ x 12″ oval ceramic plate featuring the AASV logo. Talavera is a type of majolica earthenware, a white and glazed type of ceramic.  Although the Spaniards introduced this type of pottery, ironically the term Talavera is used much more in Mexico than in Talavera de la Reina, Spain. In fact, Talavera is the oldest tin-glazed ceramic in America and it is still being manufactured with the same techniques as in the 16^th century. Talavera is made from a mixture of only two clays, a dark clay and a light, slightly rose-colored clay. One characteristic of authentic Talavera pottery is the quality of detail in the painting, expertly applied. Only natural earth pigments are used for the colors.

This Talavera plate was created in a certified workshop in the state of Puebla, Mexico; using the traditional Talavera process. Workshops producing authentic Talavera are certified by passing an inspection and verification process at least every six months. The Mexican Talavera Regulatory Council regulates the production of Talavera and restricts the use of the term to items produced within the designated zone of Puebla. There are less than 20 certified workshops producing genuine Talavera. Certified Talavera pieces bear the signature of the potter, the logo of the workshop and the special hologram that certifies the piece’s authenticity. Only pieces from workshops that meet the standards are certified.
