Small Day of the Dead Plate

Majolica pottery, which began in the 16th century, is known for its milky-white glaze applied after the first firing. This type of pottery includes various styles such as Spanish Talavera and Italian Maiolica. Mexican Majolica stands out from traditional Talavera due to its unique art forms and color usage. While Talavera features intricate patterns, Majolica showcases more free-form designs. The Santa Rosa workshop is located in the central Mexican mountains, above the city of Guanajuato at an altitude of 8,360 feet. Named after the local town and the clay from the Sierra de Santa Rosa mountains, the workshop was founded by the Salazar family and has been producing majolica pottery for over forty-five years. Today, the Salazar grandchildren continue the tradition, handling everything from clay sourcing to designing new styles. Each piece from Santa Rosa Majolica 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 perfect for Day of the Dead celebrations and can also serve as a colorful decoration in any room. Each piece is lead-free, chip-resistant, and safe for use in the microwave, oven, and dishwasher.
