Description

Vintage Talavera Wall Hanging Suns — Hand-Painted Mexican Pair

Pair of wall-mountable Mexican ceramic sun face plaques, each individually hand-painted in the vibrant folk-art style of traditional Talavera pottery. The larger plaque, made of glazed earthenware, showcases bold cobalt blue, red, and yellow hues with intricate hand-painted detailing typical of Talavera-style ceramics from Mexico’s central artisan regions. The smaller piece, crafted from painted clay with a matte finish, complements the larger with similar facial relief and expressive warmth. Both are marked “Made in Mexico” and include hanging cords for display.

This decorative duo reflects the enduring legacy of Mexican artesanía — a centuries-old craft tradition blending indigenous and colonial influences. Though only Talavera pottery from Puebla and Tlaxcala carries formal designation, these hand-painted examples embody the same artistry and color-rich charm that define the genre. Ideal for adding cultural vibrancy to patios, kitchens, or sunrooms.


Condition:

Good condition with no damage noted. Surfaces show minimal wear consistent with age and handmade production. Glazes remain bright and intact, with minor natural irregularities typical of traditional pottery.


Dimensions:

  • Large (Talavera-style): 14 ½" diameter × 3" depth — Weight: 2 lbs 14 oz

  • Small (Clay): 9" diameter × 2" depth — Weight: 11 oz

  • Quantity: 2 pieces total

  • Both wall-mountable with attached cords.
