WHY IS THIS PIECE SO SPECIAL?
Handcrafted in Mexico by artisans of Puebla, this exquisite piece features an authentic Talavera ceramic made from the earth surrounding the massive volcano Popocatépetl (which means "smoking mountain" in Nahuatl, the ancient language of the Aztecs). A special mixture of clays using the volcanic ash that mixes with the soil is then kiln fired at 800° C (1472°F). Next, each piece is hand-painted using only six specific pigments, which come from natural minerals native to the surrounding region. A thick tin glaze puts the essential touch on each piece, and a final firing process makes Talavera pottery extremely durable. Each piece can take up to one month to complete, and must follow the traditional techniques used in the 17th century in order to be considered authentic.
HANDCRAFTED AND UNIQUE
Due to the nature of hand painting and crafting used in manufacturine these items, each Pepper String is unique. Variations and imperfections are to be expected and are normal.
