The beautiful pottery of Puebla, Mexico is a traditional, tin-enameled earthenware pottery, known as Talavera. The pottery itself is still made with the same basic traditional process that was used in the 16th century; but has a new modern twist that adds a lot of life and style into this unique pottery. The modern styles have transformed the traditional process by adding in new shapes and elaborate colorful motifs. This world-renowned hand-painted pottery comes in various forms, including both functional and decorative items such as plates, serving dishes, vases and tiles. Look for these at the Raymond and Aberdeen stores!

The brine doesn’t discriminate on any egg in the skein. The liquid fills in all the spaces. To read more click here
