Here is a Talavera Yellow Monkey Mexican Pottery piece wearing a Josephs coat of splendid, cheerful colors. Every color of the rainbow is used to give this animal its festive personality. All hand painted and created in Mexico, Talavera is without doubt the brightest of the bright folk art pottery the nation is known for. The colors and the Monkey will outlast most of us given just a little care. These monkey figures are quite rare and hard to find. Also, there is a line in the tail. This is not a break or crack. It is where the glaze did not flow or absorb. This common occurrence is a trademark of Talavera art due to the nature of the materials used.
