Mexico has an ancient and rich tradition of ceramic ware. Archeological finds from thousands of years ago have inspired modern Mexican potters to create ceramics which are very similar in form and adornment to those created by ancient artisans. For example, the ceramic style of the city of Oaxaca is quite distinctive, and has a tradition of its own. The “barro negro” black clays of this region make for the production of black pottery sometimes embellished with nail hole filler which is then hand-painted with original designs.

Talavera ceramics represent a Majolica technique, and are perhaps the best known of all Mexican ceramics types. This style was imported from Spain, and thus has strong Arabian influence in it. The clay used in Talavera pottery is always made by mixing two different clays which are molded together on a potters wheel. At the present time the city of Puebla is the largest producer of these ceramics, but Talavera ceramics are also common in San Miguel de Allende, Dolores Hidalgo, and Guanajuato. The key feature which distinguishes Talavera ceramics is that they are produced in two firings. First a piece is glazed with tin glaze and fired and the second firing is done with a lead glaze.

Casas Grandes Mexican clay pottery was developed in Paquime in the northern section of Mexico about a thousand years ago. This ceramic style is relatively crude, and is admired more for its utility than its extermal beauty. Casas Grandes designs which are based on patterns of leaves, birds, and other natural objects have undergone drastic changes over the centuries. Today the Casa Grandes ceramics show influences from Spain and even Italy and Arabia.

The designs of modern Mata Ortiz pottery supply are based upon the Casas Grandes style with its high shine, and are considered to be some of the finest ceramic pieces in the world. Mata Ortiz pottery was originated by Juan Quezada, who perfected traditional designs based upon ancient shards which he collected in the area of Casas Grandes. Quezada set out to reconstruct the method of the ancients by using the raw clay of the area, making paints from locally-dug minerals, and reproducing the original firing formula. These ceramics are earthen or porcelain pots which are hand-painted with characteristic lines and curves on varied backgrounds reminiscent of the Mimbreno style. These pots are made by the traditional technique of coiling and even the firing is carried out by traditional pit-firing rather than in kilns. The ceramics are then painted with luminous paints and are highly polished. The Mata Ortiz style became popular in the 1970′s and the market for these ceramics has taken off. Hundreds of artisans in the region have resurrected these ancient pottery-making methods to create pieces exhibited in museums throughout the world.
