Mexican Pottery - Alfareria, Majolica

  Guanajuato’s traditional ceramics originated in the pottery items covered by a thick, white and glossy glaze brought to America by the Spaniards at the end of the XVI century.  In Mexico it is known as “majolica”. During the colonial period Guanajuato became a prominent mining center and the pottery workshops that flourished mainly produced plate, pots, barrels, bowls and jugs of daily use to supply and satisfy the community’s needs.  Like today, items were richly decorated with animal and popular human figures. Some of the designed were copied from Spanish pieces, but Mexican potters adapted them to their taste and endowed them with their own sensibility, thus creating and unimpaired, totally Mexican style, where influences are evident.

  We are proud to feature works by one of Mexico’s most prominent artists and ceramist, Gorky Gonzalez!
