De La Cal Ceramics 13-inch Multicolor Serving Plate

Just as lovely at the center of your table as it is displayed on the wall (and there’s an included hole on the back for hanging), this detailed platter is hand painted in Spain’s traditional talavera style. Talavera originated in Talavera de la Reina, Spain and the pattern was inspired by those used by the Arabic Moors, who conquered Spain in the 8th century. True talavera can be defined as hand-thrown red clay that’s shaped on a potter’s wheel before being glazed with a majolica off-white background and painted by hand with vibrant colors, making patterns from both thick and delicate lines.
