~TRADITIONAL STYLE~~KEN EDWARDS~~ESTILO TRADICIONAL~



Tranquil, enchanting, graceful. Three words that describe the feeling conveyed by this simple yet imaginative style..."Tradcional"...also known as "Palomar". The artisans are free to choose from a multitude of fantastic flowers, leaves, birds & butterflies making each composition an unique work of art.

~KEN EDWARDS STONEWARE~

Just one of the many magical pieces from the artisans at Ken Edwards, waiting to grace your table and cupboard.

There are 3 styles of decoration. One wouldn't call them a pattern, because each scene is a different combination of elements. The designs have been part of Jalisco for countless years.  A language the artists use to express their love for the diverse natural beauty of the region. Elements in the designs include, birds of all kinds, butterflies, rabbits, deer, fish and fantastic flowers and leaves.

This is a large platter in the style "Coleccion". The other styles are "Monarca" and "Tradicional". The style "Tradicional" was originally called "El Palomar". I'll post examples of the other styles in my next posts.

Stoneware is fired at a very high temperature, so these are dishwasher and microwave safe. The glazes are also lead free. More about Ken Edwards later also....wish I knew how to make a smiley face...I LOVE THIS STUFF!!!!!
