The "Friends", the figures have an Aztec Indian type look, that dates back to before the Spanish came to what is now South America. In the middle of them is a place for a candle to be inserted and lit. "The Indian Legend says that at then end of the evening, friends would gather around the fire and share their hearts. They would each speak of the good qualities of others. It was said that if they shared memories while the embers faded, their friendship was sealed, bringing them closer together. As you sit with a candle in the middle of your Circle of Friends, it will surround and embrace all of those who sit with you and bring you all good luck". Circle of Friends make ideal gifts for Retirement, Weddings, Anniversaries, Friendship, and other occasions.

The striking ceramic known as Talavera is over 800 years old, originating in the Talavera de la Reina region of Spain. At that time, it was called Majolica. Known for its beautiful glaze work, Talavera was imported to Mexico in the 16th century where it was used to decorate monasteries and churches with tiles and religious figures. Talavera is not turned or tin glazedthe pigments are brushed onto raw or unfired glaze. Each piece takes between 12 and 15 days to complete. It must set for 16 to 18 hours before being liquefied and poured into molds. The pieces are then hand polished and fired for six hours at 1500 (F) degrees, then painted and baked again in an 1800 (F) degree oven. Prehispanic Mexican craftsmen blended the majolica process with their own interpretation of the method to work the clays of the region and incorporated their art forms and colors. Their product came to be known as Talavera.
