Abstract
The production of “talavera” ceramics in Talavera de la Reina (Castilla-La Mancha, Spain) takes part of local cultural constructions of deep tradition. Halfway between the manufactures made for the upper or ruling classes and the most popular productions, over time, ceramics from Talavera have both intimate relationships with the productions made for the wealthier classes, as well as an interesting link with lower-scale social groups. In this article and starting from some historical considerations in relation to this type of ceramic production, we will analyze the evolution of Talavera pottery up to the present day, inscribed as intangible cultural heritage by UNESCO and looking for new ways to stay alive and in use over time.
