Plate 1800 - 1850

This Talavera Poblana plate, dating from 1800 to 1850, is a beautiful example of Mexican tin-glazed pottery. The intricate floral patterns, painted in vibrant hues of blue, green, yellow, and orange, are characteristic of the Talavera style. The central medallion, with its radial design, is surrounded by a band of scrolling foliage, echoing the traditional motifs of Moorish and Spanish ceramic traditions. The plate, currently housed at the Art Institute of Chicago, serves as a testament to the rich history and artistic legacy of Mexican ceramics.
