The neighboring villages of Talavera de la Reina and El Puente del Arzobispo have established the benchmark against which all other Spanish hand painted ceramics are compared.
Many serious artisans have found the neighboring village of El Puente del Arzobispo more supportive of their commitment to preserve traditional style and quality, than Talavera, since there is less pressure to produce in volume to satisfy for the demands of the tourist trade.
La Tienda offers food-safe, lead free ceramics from “Puente”: pieces made the traditional way; and a new collection of dishwasher safe pieces with a high fired glaze. Both are hand-made, hand painted, signed by the artists.
