Product Description
The Green Talavera Planter with Handles embodies the rustic charm and historic elegance of Mexico’s colonial ceramic artistry. Its rounded form, twin side handles, and weathered green surface reflect centuries-old techniques preserved by artisans in central Mexico. The washed green finish with subtle rusted accents captures the essence of European heritage fused with Mexican tradition. Each planter is glazed with a transparent waterproof coating to ensure long-term durability. Ideal for use outdoors in warm climates, this planter can remain in patios, courtyards, or gardens year-round. In colder regions where temperatures fall below freezing, it should be moved indoors to preserve the glaze. Over time, fine surface lines known as crazing may appear — a natural and authentic part of the Talavera aging process, enhancing the character of the piece.

Craftsmanship
This planter is handmade using traditional Talavera techniques. Artisans shape and fire the clay before painting it with mineral-based, lead-free pigments. A transparent glaze seals the color, waterproofs the surface, and adds a smooth, luminous finish. Over time, natural crazing appears within the glaze — a sign of authenticity that adds visual texture. The piece is strong yet refined, merging practicality with old-world beauty.
Artisan Testimony: “We let the color age gracefully, like antique copper or stone. Every shade tells its own story.” — Isabel García, Puebla
