Summary: 5 Stars
I was very happy to have received this beautiful talavera switch plate. I had no problem installing it and the bright colors made my kitchen seem brighter. Actually, I'm thinking of adding more of the talavera switch plates to my dining room. These switch plates can be used in any room. They are unique, as I learned from a brochure which was included with the item. The brochure gave a brief history of Talavera and how talavera is crafted by Mexican artisans. MX Imports company made sure the switchplate was well packed and they were prompt in shipping the item.

The History of Talavera: The striking ceramic known as Talavera is over 800 years old, originating in the Talavera de la Reina region of Spain. At that time, it was called Majolica. Known for its beautiful glaze work, Talavera was imported to Mexico in the 16th century where it was used to decorate monasteries and churches with tiles and religious figures. Talavera is not turned or tin glazed. The pigments are brushed onto raw or unfired glaze. Each piece takes between 12 and 15 days to complete. It must set for 16 to 18 hours before being liquefied and poured into molds. The pieces are then hand polished and fired for six hours at 1500 (F) degrees, then painted and baked again in an 1800 (F) degree oven. Prehispanic Mexican craftsmen blended the majolica process with their own interpretation of the method to work the clays of the region and incorporated their art forms and colors. Their product came to be known as Talavera.More About MX Imports and Our Products: We are happy to pay about 20-25% above 'market' value to our artisans in Mexico in order to create a sustainable business for them as well as in the hopes of bringing up the standard of living of the community at large.
