Puebla Nativity

Isabelle Collins in Mexico employs the same methods that have been employed in Puebla for hundreds of years to create this Talavera-style nativity scene. Two kinds of local clay must be cleaned, dried, kneaded and molded before being fired at high temperatures and carefully painted by hand. The three-piece set includes Mary, Joseph, and the Baby Jesus, all beautifully decorated in traditional cobalt blue and white.
