Mexican Talavera ceramic is the result of a mixture of cultures over time. Initially, the Spaniards were influenced by Arabic pottery.They brought it with them to Mexico.The mixture of these cultures resulted in this beautiful ceramic art. This ceramic toggle switch plate is a great present-time example of the exquisite beauty Mexican craftsmen put into each item they create.The ceramic is fired at high temperatures to give it its hardness.Most of the Talavera ceramic items are first hand-painted with a white coat.The decoration is then drawn over the first coat of paint.You may find that it has some imperfections, due to its hand-made nature, but it is what makes it all the more unique. Because the switch plate is handcrafted and hand-painted, no two switch plates are the same! There may be small variations in size, weight and even the paintings. This switch plate makes for a unique accent to any hacienda, country, or southwestern style home.This particular design is by far one of the most colorful ones in our collection. It is full of reds, oranges, greens, blues, and terracotas, this switch plate will definetly highlight the decorations in your home.It will fit any standard single-toggle switch plate. If you want to delight somebody special with a unique handcrafted gift, this is what you are looking for! All of our Talavera Mexican switch plates come with ivory-painted head screws.

Even though I'm half Norwegian and live in the Ballard (Scandinavian) area of Seattle, I was born and raised in Southern California so my heart belongs to Southwestern & Mexican art and decor. This colorful light switch plate is perfect in my kitchen; I love the design and the colors. It's very well made and fits over the switch perfectly. Makes me happy every time I turn the light on. (I'll find a good home for the wooden rosemaled switch plate)
