Be sure, absolutely sure, that it is marked correctly on the bottom and comes from an authorized family. There are only 4 families in Mexico authorized to produce orginal Talavera ware. You won't find any of it on Isla. Most of it is why I call "Talavera type". But if you like it as pottery, buy it.Islagringohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18181198510287530636noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8190092564444485501.post-14708820776003373892010-03-02T10:27:53.165-06:002010-03-02T10:27:53.165-06:00Paul - That's very true...anthing involving Me...Paul - That's very true...anthing involving Mexico makes you feel like you're in a paint store explosion.<br /><br />MD - I know I've gotten a few looks and laughs when I take food photographs, too.

A good place to kill time, but way to pricey.<br /><br />All the band parents ate at Mi Tierra. It was good, but definitely a tourist trap! Everyone laughed when I took a picture of my food (had to send a picture message to the daughter who was with the band eating pizza!!) <br /><br />Great pics - thanks for sharing!MD in Texashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08875027599577691824noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8190092564444485501.post-51699436659132828242010-03-02T07:56:28.878-06:002010-03-02T07:56:28.878-06:00Nice recap of your day in San Antonio.
