This Talavera ceramic pot is very colorful. The top opening diameter is about 12"" and the bottom diameter is about 7"" wide. This ceramic pot is just an example of the exquisite beauty the Mexican craftsmen put on each item they create. It is handcrafted and hand-painted, which means that no pots are the same! There might be small differences in size, weight and colors. If you want to delight somebody special with an unique handcrafted gift, this is what you are looking for! This pot can be used outdoors on temperatures over 40 degrees Farenheit, under that temperature it might erode or crack, so outdoors use is recommended with caution.
