About the maker

Juana Ponce

"I was born in the Mexican state of Guanajuato, where Don Miguel Hidalgo left his ceramic heritage to the native peoples of the region. Today it is an active legacy. I began working in this beautiful craft in 1994, thanks to my father, and my husband and children help me see that it is carried on.

"Working with Talavera-inspired ceramics is fascinating. I like it because it allows me to create using various colors and forms. I try to draw my inspiration from what the ceramic transmits – its tradition and its characteristic colors from our vibrant Mexican culture. When it comes to jewelry, I really enjoy being able to combine Talavera-style ceramics with silver, giving it an elegant touch. We have our own glaze formulas originating from this beautiful region.

"Working as a family is very important, allowing us to bring our points of view to the table with more freedom and simplicity. My sons are in charge of selling our crafts to other parts of the country, optimizing resources, quality control, and designing our pieces. I consider compromise, identity, admiration, creativity, and responsibility to be important traits in each member of the family. Without them, a vital part of our work would be lost. We work by hand alongside other families that collaborate with us on each detail. Together, we reaffirm our identity, and in this way we introduce this art to the world.

"Each one of the obstacles we have faced has shown how strong we are as a family. One of these challenges was the passing of our father only a few years ago. He lives on in our artisan legacy. Therefore, he is with us always. He showed us the value of tenacity and resistance in the face of life's challenges. In this way, we grow and solidify our legacy. Working with you, we hope to consolidate our work and our workshop and leave a family legacy that endures for many generations, just like my father did."

Jill

Fits large bouquets. Beautiful!

Susan

Juana Ponce is one of my favorite artists. Her ceramic pieces are beautifully designed and carefully executed.This "Praying Mary" sculpture is a perfect example of Juana's craft. The colors are vivid but not overpowering., and Mary's hands are clasped as in prayer. To me the loveliest quality of the statue is Mary's expression. It is beatific and produces a sense of serenity for the viewer. I hung this next to a doorway in my room a little above eye level. There I can look at her blessed face and whisper a prayer each time I pass through the doorway.

Holly

This vase is so beautiful, I have been eyeing it for months and finally bought it and I am very happy I did!

Elizabeth

On my white quartz kitchen counter and it is a stunner of a Showpiece!!Now would you be able to create a tall vase just as tall or taller with golden yellow sunflowers on beautiful indigo blue background with variegated greenly stems and leaves? Saw one in Mexico a few years back but could not take with me on cruise ship due to its size. If you can create something for me would be terrific! The you again!

Dru

I cannot say enough about the beautiful, hand-crafted starfish and cactus. The colors are vibrantly magnificent! The starfish is quite substantial and heavy. The cactus is a bit lighter but the quality is not lessened. I love the postcard included with both that shows where the items were made. The packaging is very secure and there was no damage to the items. I love these two pottery pieces. Absolutely gorgeous!

Two Summers ago, I purchased a cat stretching out. Both have the same Beautiful Colors, and the trashcan, will be used as a container for incoming & out going mail.
