Traditional Blue and White pottery in a ginger jar size and form. Primitive finish + hand painting and glaze expected from artisan pottery.

15" tall and 10" wide at middle. Top lifts off the base.

1990s era - purchased in 1995 from the artist in his studio.

One imperfection on the rim below the top - otherwise charmingly imperfect as great pottery is with original glaze and color still as sharp and bright as ever.

Marvelous decorator piece - and as a floral bouquet vase for large arrangements.

In keeping with Aesop's fable, Fox and Crow's Motto is "Beware of False Flattery!" So, with each listing we offer a true confession about the item...this is a very happy treasure from our travels - a 1990s era trip to San Miguel and Guanajuato in the beautiful mountains of Central Mexico. On that trip, we - entirely by luck! - were invited to the personal, home Majolica studio of noted ceramics artist Gorky Gonzalez. We bought several things and have loved them all, and their appeal has only grown over the years. Incredible texture and a huge pop of color - with all the quality of fine artisan goods! See less
