This Spanish plate is called Talavera. It is made with traditional pottery-making methods used for over five centuries in the Spanish town of Talavera de la Reina.
This pottery has been declared part of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity by UNESCO. The reason for this recognition is that most of the manufacturing, decoration and glazing processes to produce the pottery have remained unchanged since the 16th century.
