Definition Wikipedia: Talavera, in Puebla, Mexico, is a type of maiolica pottery, which is distinguished by a white glaze. Authentic Talavera pottery only comes from the city of Puebla and the nearby communities of Atlixco, Cholula, and Tecali, because of the quality of the natural clay found there and the tradition of production which goes back to the 16th century.
