"We are originally from Dolores Hidalgo in the state of Guanajuato. Our father, José Luis Contreras, was one of the pioneers of Talavera-style ceramics in Dolores. Through his teaching and discipline, each member of the family is dedicated to preserving this artisan technique. And we not only teach members of the family, but anyone who sincerely wants to learn.
"It was throughout our childhood that our interest grew in how we could contribute new designs, colors, shapes and items for common use and also for décor. It never ceases to amaze us that something so simple and common that is part of our land — such as clay — can be made so beautiful. It can be transformed into an article that complements your life and, not only that, but it also preserves a centuries-old tradition. I think that is what we are most passionate about in our work as an artisan family.
"The growth process has been a learning process in every way. It has taught us to work hard and to wok together. We review each of the processes of each piece we make and involve ourselves from the heart in each one of them. Our father tells us that this is the only way to achieve mastery in whatever you do. We have also faced challenges but each of them was overcome, with a stronger family bond as the result.
"The clay we use is extracted from the Sierra de Guanajuato, and we use lead-free glazes. We find inspiration in the traditional colors of the Talavera style. We love creating new combinations and improving the fine details in our work. We believe that we'll always have that vision in the workshop.

Gorgeous artistry, bright and cheery, looks great with fresh cut flowers from my garden. Can also be used as a planter; something trailing would look great in it. Looks like the sunflowers are floating in the pool. Great size, too; not small like so many. Love it!

Beautifully made and will make a great addition to my Dia de los Muertos sculptures. Far more lovely in person than the photos. The shipping was fast and the vase extremely well packed. Handwritten thank you card made it a classy touch. Don't miss a chance to buy one of these.

This is a beautifully done piece. The colors are amazing and it is actually bigger than I expected. I was also impressed with the packaging. It had a long way to travel to get to me so I was a bit concerned if it would make it in one piece. I am very happy with this and will definitely order from this artist again!

This sunflower vase is a little larger than expected. It only has the sunflowers on the front of the vase the back side is the blue color. The colors and flowers are just beautiful. I am not sure if I will use it as a vase or a utensil holder. I am very happy with my purchase and recommend this artisan. So pretty and very well made.

This vase is amazing. Even my husband said it was really cool when I took it out of the extra securely wrapped box. The colors pop and the Catrina is bold and beautiful. I was going to gift this to a friend but I think I will keep it.

It's amazing how a piece of clay can be transformed into heirloom. The unpainted clay surfaces reveal a creamy white clay that must be unique to the artist's region. The swirling painted design is bold & elegant. The beading outlining the design gives it depth and nice texture. The glaze makes the colors vibrant. The box was shipped promptly.

This is a cool vase with the sunflowers on one side, I thought I ordered the wrong vase when I unwrapped (the very well wrapped) vase and didn’t see the sunflowers, then turned it around and saw the gorgeous sunflowers. It’s very unique and like nothing I have.

Very pretty vase and nice size not to big. The only thing I don't like is the center of the sunflowers. It looks like you took a magic marker and just scribbled a circle shape. The rest of the art work is good.

This vase is one of the most beautiful items I have and it is just the right size for summer flowers like zinnias, sunflowers, Gerbera and plain daisies. Even when empty it is pretty on the shelf. I was very impressed at how carefully it was packed and am totally happy with this purchase.
