Offered is a hand-painted and burnished glaze vintage 1970s bird figurine made in Tonalá, Jalisco Mexico, a province renowned for its earth-tone clay and for all the pottery and ceramic art created since the 1950s. Its tail end is a cigarette rest, however, the hollow painted and glazed back can be used as a soap dish, or a ring holder.
This figurine measures approximately 5.75" (from tip of beak to end of tail) x 3.125" in width x 3.5" in height, and is created with a creamy light grey undercoat and the body is embellished with a blue-leafed green flower (native to the region), and decorative flourishes, brush strokes and squiggles in black and brown. less
