Ceramics of Jalisco, Mexico has a history that extends far back in the pre Hispanic period, but modern production is the result of techniques introduced by the Spanish during the colonial period and the introduction of high-fire production in the 1950s and 1960s by Jorge Wilmot and Ken Edwards. Today various types of traditional ceramics such as bruñido, canelo, and petatillo are still made, along with high fire types like stoneware, with traditional and nontraditional decorative motifs. The two main ceramics centers are Tlaquepaque and Tonalá, with a wide variety of products such as cookware, plates, bowls, piggy banks, and many types of figures. The Tonalá tradition became known as “Tonalá ware,” “polished ornamental ware,” or “Guadalajara polychrome.” A number of these pieces were exported to Europe in the 17th and 18th Centuries. In the later colonial period ceramics waned in Tlaquepaque, with a revival in the 19th Century with jars and Nativity scenes.
