Product Description
The Talavera Wall Sconce with Colonial Floral Motifs is a handcrafted ceramic piece that reflects centuries of Mexican pottery tradition. Made in Puebla and Dolores Hidalgo, this sconce blends Spanish Colonial, Moorish, and Indigenous influences into an ornate and balanced wall accent. Its semi-circular bowl form with a flat back is designed for wall mounting, allowing versatile use as a planter or decorative sconce. Hand-painted with vivid colors, it combines symmetry, geometric order, and natural motifs. A glossy glaze protects the surface and enhances the depth of its palette, which includes cobalt, yellow, green, orange, and earthy brown. The design features stylized flowers, scrolls, lattice, and leafy elements framed within geometric borders. This combination results in a lively yet refined appearance that enriches rustic, colonial, or Mediterranean interiors, as well as covered outdoor areas with authentic artistry and cultural character.
