Christian wall crosses 'Sunflowers,' (small)

Girasoles (sunflowers) adorn a slender cross, their intense gold highlighted on a cool background of leafy green. Working in the style of Talavera pottery, the Castillo Family creates a beautiful christian wall crosses plaque. First the clay is cast in molds. The piece is fired, then submerged in glaze. Once dry, the elaborate patterns are sketched and painstakingly painted by hand. Finally, the pot is high-fired for six hours to achieve a glassy finish. Although true Talavera is produced only in the city of Puebla, the Talavera-style ceramics crafted in Dolores Hidalgo are recognized the world over. Because each piece is individually crafted, each is absolutely unique. The motifs could differ slightly from those pictured.
