Offered is a vintage 1970s burnished ceramic Japanese-inspired tea cup from Tonalá in Jalisco, Mexico and created by Ken Edwards renowned for his studio, El Palomar.
The bird and flower are typical of the region, as are the colors, green, blue and brown - made from natural tints native to the area.
By itself it makes a lovely water cup for a bathroom or nightstand, yet is just as practical for holding pencils on a desk, paint-brushes in a studio, as a planter for a small succulent, or for displaying among a collection of Mexican ceramics.
It measures 2.25" in diameter on the bottom, 3.25" in diameter along the top rim, and is 3" in height, and is marked "Mexico - K. E." on the bottom.
NOTE: The pencils are props and not included.
