Small Day of the Dead Plate

Majolica pottery, originating in the 16th century, is distinguished by its milky-white glaze applied after the first firing. This pottery category includes Spanish-influenced Talavera and Italian Maiolica as sub-genres. Mexican Majolica stands apart from traditional Talavera through its art form and color usage. While Talavera is known for intricate patterns, Majolica features more free-form designs. The Santa Rosa workshop, located in the mountains of central Mexico at 8,360 feet above Guanajuato, uses local Sierra de Santa Rosa clay. Founded by the Salazar family, Santa Rosa has been crafting majolica pottery for over forty-five years. Today, the Salazar grandchildren manage the studio, handling everything from clay sourcing to glazing, painting, and designing new styles. Each Santa Rosa Majolica piece is a unique work of art, bringing the essence of this craft into your home. This handmade Day of the Dead plate adds a whimsical touch to any dining table, serving area, or wall. It is ideal for Day of the Dead celebrations and as a colorful decoration for any room. Each piece is 100% lead-free, chip-resistant, and safe for use in the microwave, oven, and dishwasher.
