The bright classic design reflects the historic ceramic tradition of the village of El Puente del Arzobispo. When these designs were originally conceived, the region of Toledo was the cultural center of medieval Spain. Each one is individually painted by hand and signed by the artist. The glaze is lead free and food safe. It is best to wash them by hand. (less info) |
