Hand-Painted with Love
Body / Fredoka
Talavera pottery originated in the Mexican city of Puebla during the colonial period, blending Spanish, Italian, and indigenous techniques. Each piece is hand-painted with vibrant colors derived from natural minerals, featuring flowers, birds, pomegranates, and geometric patterns that tell stories of Mexican heritage and joy.

Embrace the hand-painted quality. Slight variations and wobbles add warmth and humanity to every element.
Use bold, saturated colors fearlessly. Cobalt blue anchors while marigold, pink, and lime bring life to the palette.
Draw inspiration from flowers, birds, pomegranates, and sun faces. Nature provides endless motifs for decoration.
Use scalloped edges, papel picado cuts, and decorative frames to create visual rhythm and celebrate craftsmanship.
Organize content like painted tiles on a wall. Each piece is unique but contributes to a harmonious whole.
Every interaction should feel like being welcomed into a colorful Mexican home full of love and celebration.
