This exceptional pair of hand-painted terracotta pulque jugs, originating from Tuliman, Guerrero in the 1970s, represents a distinctive example of Mexican folk art. Traditionally used to carry pulque, a fermented beverage derived from the agave plant, which also produces Mezcal, these jugs are intricately decorated with traditional hand-painted patterns and finished with agave fiber rope, which serves as a practical shoulder strap. Labeled "Genuino Arte Popular Mexicano," these jugs boast a rich patina that speaks to their authenticity and age. They are in superb condition, with no breaks or missing parts, reflecting their meticulous craftsmanship and care. These versatile pieces can be creatively used as unique outdoor garden decorations or hung as they were originally designed, adding a touch of Mexican heritage and artistry to any setting. This piece is attributed to the mentioned designer/maker. It has no attribution mark and no
official proof of authenticity,
however it is well documented in design history. I take full responsibility for any authenticity
issues arising from misattribution less
