Procesos artesanales para la elaboración de la talavera de Puebla y Tlaxcala (México) y de la cerámica de Talavera de la Reina y puente del Arzobispo (España)

This paper addresses, like an essay, some of the legal difficulties involved in safeguarding intangible cultural heritage. Based on the inscription of the Artisanal Talavera of Puebla and Tlaxcala (Mexico) and ceramics of Talavera de la Reina and El Puente del Arzobispo (Spain) making processes on the Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity, some reflections are made that can be extended to other goods.
