Shiny ceramic glazes were introduced to the Americas after the European invasions. In Puebla, founded in 1531 southeast of Mexico City, Spanish colonists began making glazed ceramics, like this one, resembling those from Talavera de la Reina in Spain, resulting in a new style called Talavera Poblana. These new American ceramics also showed influences of Chinese blue-and-white porcelains brought to Mexico by the Manila galleons via the Philippines. The floral designs upon this vessel appear to draw from European textiles. Its pair is in the Museo Franz Mayer in Mexico City.
