Old Taxco Views on Tile by Anonymous Artists


Recently, as I passed the shop of Ruby Ramirez near the zocolo in Taxco, I popped in and saw a trunk full of oversized brightly colored naïve style Taxco motif tiles were for sale. After picking out a selection Ken, her husband told me that they were being produced in Mexico City, "Probably by kids who have never seen Taxco in person!" and that they were very popular with tourists. I plan to install them, along with another "Calle del Arcos" that was out of stock, in a Talavera style kitchen. Click on a thumbnail to ENLARGE.
