De La Cal Ceramics 13-inch Multicolor Serving Plate

Regular price $99.95

Just as lovely at the center of your table as it is displayed on the wall (and there’s an included hole on the back for hanging), this detailed platter is hand painted in Spain’s traditional talavera style. Talavera originated in Talavera de la Reina, Spain and the pattern was inspired by those used by the Arabic Moors, who conquered Spain in the 8th century. True talavera can be defined as hand-thrown red clay that’s shaped on a potter’s wheel before being glazed with a majolica off-white background and painted by hand with vibrant colors, making patterns from both thick and delicate lines.

Fifth-generation ceramics makers, the De La Cal family crafts stunning tablewares from natural clay from the Tajo River.

Here’s how these international award-winning ceramics are made at their workshop in Puente del Arzobispo in the Province of Toledo, Spain: After it’s shaped by hand, the pottery dries slowly under the sun and is fired at 1,100 degrees Celsius. Then, it’s glazed and hand-painted by one of the five artists before it gets a finishing fire. Each De La Cal piece also comes signed by its painter, adding a personal touch.
