Mexican Talavera ceramic is the result of a mixture of cultures over time. Initially, the Spaniards were influenced by Arabic pottery. They brought it with them to Mexico. The mixture of these cultures resulted in this beautiful ceramic art.
This ceramic
Fish Soap Container
is a great present-time example of the exquisite beauty Mexican craftsmen put into each item they create.
The ceramic is fired at high temperatures to give it its hardness. Most of the Talavera ceramic items are first hand-painted with a white coat. The decoration is then drawn over the first coat of paint, that is the reason why white is often visible in the background, especially in the terracotta designs.
You may find that it has some imperfections, due to its hand-made nature, but it is what makes it all the more unique.
Because the
soap container
is handcrafted and hand-painted, no two
soap containers
are the same! There may be small variations in size, weight and even the paintings.
If you want to delight somebody special with a unique handcrafted gift, this is what you are looking for!
