Other tiendas sell silver jewelry, clay and ceramic pots including the famous Talavera pottery from mainland Mexico. This particular brand of pottery has been made in Puebla Mexico ever since the conquest in the early 1500’s. The Spanish king impressed with the Chinese blue and white ceramics arriving in Spain on Galleons from the orient, decreed that the Indians of Puebla were to start up a rival industry. Today the hand painted pots, bowls, and platters come in many colors and patterns ranging from Spanish and Italian flower, fruit and vegetable designs and arabesque patterns, to Aztec motifs.
