Jalisco Ceramics

"Among collectors, the state of Jalisco is highly regarded for the diversity and quality of its wares...Historically, the most important ceramic center has been Tonalá, but distinctively unique wares also come from the nearby towns, Santa Cruz de las Huertas and Tlaquepaque...in many instances, it is nearly impossible to say whether a piece comes from Tonalá or its neighbor, Tlaquepaque. For much of the century, ceramics were primarily sold in stores in Tlaquepaque, while most of the artisans lived in Tonalá. Tourist wares...are often said to be Tlaquepaque Style."
