Ken Edwards is an American artist who after studying here and Japan opened his own business in the craft town Tonala Mexico in the 1960’s. He took a look at Mexico’s business and said they should take the lead out of their pottery, which he did. The signature on these candlesticks makes it a very early design. These candlesticks are exceptional. There are three sections of hand painted birds, butterflies,and flowers. less
