Her form of decoration, called “pastillaje,” was also an innovation for the area’s pottery and consists of small pieces of clay added onto the main surfaces, often covering much of the area. Teodora taught her children and although she intended that only the oldest daughter carry on her work, today three generations of the family continues m

These include Irma García Blanco, who have been recognized by the Fomento Cultural Banamex and Fernando Félix Pegüero García, who has won prizes from the Friends of Oaxacan Folk Art in New York and Premio Nacional de Cerámica in Tlaquepaque, Jalisco.

Teodora enseñó a sus hijos y trató que su hija más grande se hiciera cargo del trabajo. Hoy en día tres generaciones de la familia continúan haciendo decoraciones en cerámica en su mayoría, a raíz de su trabajo. Esto incluye a Irma García Blanco, quien ha sido reconocida por el Fomento Cultural Banamex, y por Fernando Félix Pegüero García, quien ha ganado premios de "Friends of Oaxacan Folk Art" en Nueva York y el Premio Nacional de Cerámica en Tlaquepaque, Jalisco.
