They brought with them their ordinance book that explained what Talaveran craftwork had to be, how this pottery had to be done. ““It’s important to consider that when Talaveran influence arrived, in both (countries) the way to create pottery is the same, (in Mexico) what changes is decoration. They were influenced by indigenous people from the place they arrived to, of course, the workers were indigenous. And they also were influenced by the Manila galleon.”
