The Dominicans introduced the tradition of Talavera de la Reina Spain which was based on work with white and blue colors. Little by little the color palette and the designs were expanded. From plates and bowls it was changed to chandeliers and only decorative figures.This ceramic work with painting is linked to Chinese traditions which later worked in Europe and later came to America. That is why Mexico appropriated this heritage also contributing its culture.
