Spain, Toledo: Colorful Pottery

Taking a family trip throughout Spain, we stopped by the city of Toledo. Toledo, which dates back to Roman times, is known for pottery, swords, and embroidery work.


I picked up these two pieces of yellow, blue and white glazed pottery.  The small pitcher could be used for cream.  In the picture below I used both pieces to hold pens and pencils.  If you look closely you will read  the word "lapices" on the container on the left which means "pencils" in Spanish.

These small pieces of hand painted pottery were really easy to transport in my suitcase. I took a picture of the handcrafted pottery with some sunflowers.  For Julie's Journeys blog readers, sunflowers and olive trees can be found all over Spain's landscape.
