Meet Our Talavera Birdies: Bright, Beautiful, and Full of Life

How Our Birdies Are Made: True Artistry in Every Detail

Talavera pottery has deep roots in Mexican history. It originally came from Puebla, a city known for its rich colonial heritage and incredible artisanship. The tradition of Talavera pottery began in the 16th century when Spanish settlers introduced new ceramic techniques. Over time, local Mexican artists made the style their own, blending indigenous designs with European influences. The result? The colorful, floral, and geometric patterns we know and love today!

Each Talavera birdie is hand-shaped and hand-painted, meaning no two are ever exactly alike. They reflect the heart and soul of the artisan who made them — and when you bring one into your home, you’re bringing a little piece of Mexico’s artistic spirit with it.

Once the painting is complete, the birdies go back into the kiln for a second firing. This seals in their vivid designs, giving them their signature glossy finish. The process is time-intensive and demands a steady hand and an artistic eye. It’s true craftsmanship you can feel every time you hold one.

Caring for Your Talavera Birdie: Simple and Easy

Dust Regularly: A soft, dry cloth is perfect for wiping away dust. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cloths that might scratch the surface.

Handle with Care: Although they’re durable, ceramic can chip if dropped. Place your birdie somewhere safe where it won’t get knocked over.

Indoor or Sheltered Outdoor Use: Talavera pottery can handle a bit of moisture but prefers protection from freezing temperatures and heavy rain. If you use your birdie outdoors, consider placing it under a porch or in a sunroom.

Bring Inside During Winter: Freezing weather can cause cracks in the glaze. During colder months, it's best to bring your birdie inside.
