We had the opportunity to go to our favorite mercado here in México City today, called La Ciudadela.
Within a few minutes, while “just looking“, we happened upon a shop called “Diana”, which just happened to have some gorgeous pottery, (the blue and white) called Talavera, in the window. Had to have it. All of the dishes in the photos are made entirely by hand, in a town about 3 1/2 hours Southeast of here, called Puebla.
Then we walked into the store and saw these, (photo below) and had to have them as well. So, and hour later, they wheeled the box of dishes, on a dolly, and put it in the car for us. I can only say, for the two of us, they were absolutely meant for us.
The little things in the photo above, that look like egg cups, are actually the stems for drinking glasses. You buy the glass portion separately, and glue them on somehow. Not sure when, or how, we will do this, if we do it.
I hope you are able to see the detail in the photos. Each piece is almost perfect. We cannot wait to start using them.
