Taller Talavera de la Reyna

1 Bill Foote - 5 years ago

On a recent visit to Puebla I went to the workshop of Talavera de la Reyna in Cholula where I ordered a set of dinner plates, salad plates, and soup bowls to be shipped to me in the U.S. at considerable expense. I knew of the reputation of the company and did not anticipate any problems. To my surprise, when the items arrived I found that 7 of the dinner plates, 3 of the salad plates, and 3 soup bowls had noticeable flaws. I sent pictures of them to an archaeologist friend who is a specialist in Mexican ceramics. She concurred that they appeared to be seconds rather than first quality items. I contacted the company whose response was that the items are handmade and therefore flaws are to be expected. So warning! If you want fine quality ceramics, go to Uriarte in Puebla.

(Translated by Google) If you want to know first-hand the process of making Talavera, as well as high-quality pieces, this is the place.

I highly recommend you go with time to request the tour of the production process, it will change your perspective regarding the price of Talavera (you will understand why it is worth what it is worth) and it will make you feel a lot of admiration for those who make these high-quality handicrafts. .

In addition, the house is beautiful, its gardens and spaces are worth it by themselves.

Highly recommended.

Además la casa es hermosa, sus jardines y espacios valen la pena por sí mismos.

Muy recomendado.

(Translated by Google) Excellent you can get to see different designs and acquire fascinating pieces.
It must be remembered that Talavera is distinguished by being manual, which is why each piece is unique and they come to have their defect and arrive at high prices because they are certified.

(Translated by Google) It is good to see the talavera manufacturing process to understand its price in some cases, in others it seems exaggerated, however this workshop is a work of art inside me.

(Translated by Google) Good ideas, not everything has the quality control that it should. Prices do not correspond to quality.

(Original)
Buenas ideas, no todo tiene el control de calidad que debería. No corresponde los precios a la calidad.

(Translated by Google) The attention is very bad, they treat in an indifferent way, which hurts because the products are very beautiful. But it was a return that was not worth it at all :(

La atención es muy mala, tratan de forma indiferente, que lastima porque los productos son muy bonitos. Pero fue una vuelta que para nada valió la pena :(
