Curatorial Notes
In the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, the Mexican city of Puebla became a production center for fine earthenware and tiles later known as “Talavera poblana.” The earliest Puebla majolica (tin-glazed earthenware) shows Spanish and Hispano-Islamic influences. However, Puebla is best known for the Chinese-inspired blue-and-white majolica it began producing in the second quarter of the seventeenth century, which remained popular throughout the eighteenth century.
