Large Plate 1775 - 1825

This large plate, created by the Talavera Poblana workshop between 1775 and 1825, is a stunning example of Mexican tin-glazed earthenware. The plate features a central motif of a tower and fountain, surrounded by a border of stylized floral designs. The blue, yellow, and green colors used in the painting are characteristic of Talavera Poblana, a style that was heavily influenced by Spanish and Moorish design traditions. The plate is now part of the The Art Institute of Chicago’s collection, showcasing the vibrant and intricate craftsmanship of Talavera Poblana pottery.
