We Love Talavera!

The Talavera Emporium team

Talavera Emporium Team: Luis Hernandez, Edali Hernandez & Vijay Rengan

As connoisseurs of Talavera pottery with a collective experience of over 30 years, we have assembled an exclusive collection of Talavera pottery. We visited many Talavera-producing sites, interacted with master artisans and introduced some of our own design ideas to satisfy our discerning customers.

Our success and reputation led us to create this exclusive Talavera website, where we present products of the highest quality—pieces that reflect the immense spirit involved in the meticulous creation of Talavera.

We import Talavera exclusively from Mexico and Majolica from Spain. Although their names differ, Talavera and Majolica share a similar production process. Talavera from Mexico often has a stronger ethnic blend in its colors and designs than Majolica made in Spain.

Talavera pottery has its roots in Spain, in Talavera de la Reina, where it was first known to be created. It was introduced to Mexico in the early seventeenth century. Talavera produced in designated Puebla workshops is officially recognized and protected by the Government of Mexico.

We are based in San Antonio, Texas, in the historic Market Square area. While popular among local customers, our intention has always been to share the beauty of Talavera throughout the world. We take great pleasure in seeing customers satisfied with their purchases and go to great lengths to make that happen.

Our products are unique and colorful, created to enhance the beauty and add life to any interior.
