Tinware is one of Mexico's best-known crafts, creating both practical and ornamental objects. The designs are varied, ranging from humorous images to cultural and religious motifs. However, the most famous craft is probably the manufacture of tinplate hearts.
It is quite a laborious process. First, the images are cut out and the details chiselled, then colours and varnishes are applied until the desired effect is achieved. The style of painting, and especially the finish, helps to determine the origin of a piece, as they vary greatly from one region to another.
In Oaxaca, for example, the artisans usually leave the pieces natural or with a shiny enamel finish, while in San Miguel de Allende the pieces have an aged appearance due to a previous oxidation process.
