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!
