One street display of what Puebla is known for, "talavera poblano ceramics". Talavera is one of the few Mexican products with a protected designation of origin. The pottery is highly regulated by the government, as the clay must be molded a certain way and all paints must be completely natural. The special clay used is only found in the Cholula area, and there are nine Talavera workshops total in Puebla. For Mexico as a whole, it is one of the country’s most important expressions of Folk Art. Talavera pottery is a Mexican and Spanish pottery tradition named after the Spanish Talavera de la Reina pottery, from Talavera de la Reina, in Spain. The Mexican pottery is a type of majolica (faience) or tin-glazed earthenware, with a white base glaze typical of the type.
