Ric,
There are many places still producing ceramics but not traditional
pottery
The tin glaze centers as Ric mentions are
Talavera de la Reina
Puente de Arzobispo
and also Triana barrio de Sevilla
Manises barrio de Valencia
Teruel (green and brown)
but most of these are far from Cordoba.

Thanks for the information. I forwarded it to my daughter. She is there until the end of May. Hopefully she will get time to see some potters at work. Thanks.
