A Favorite : Talavera Ginger Jars

 

In my searching for treasures, there is a shape

I dearly love.


There is something about ginger jars

that makes me take a breath.

And if it is Mexican talavera,

I am a complete goner.

Maybe it is their

hippy-ness?

(Which reminds me of a family saying-

“A moment on your lips forever on your hips.” )

Or maybe it is that

perky little lid?


If you are a treasure hunter,

whether it be at your local flea market,

or in the streets of San Miguel de Allende ,

where I found some of these pieces,

the odds of that same perky little lid surviving whatever

box it was in

or the wrapping job of the street vendor,

are slim.


That is all part of the great adventure, isn’t it?
