Bowl 1800 - 1850

This 19th century Talavera Poblana bowl, now housed at the Art Institute of Chicago, is a beautiful example of Mexican tin-glazed earthenware. The bowl's blue base is adorned with colorful floral motifs, painted in traditional Talavera style. The simple design and vibrant colors showcase the unique craftsmanship of Talavera Poblana, a centuries-old tradition with roots in Spanish colonial Mexico. This bowl is an excellent example of the art form and its lasting legacy.
