Lot #13: Set of 5 Vintage Tonalá-Style Mexican Pottery Cups – Hand-Painted Birds & Florals – Signed

Authentic set of five vintage Mexican pottery cups in the sought-after Tonalá / Ken Edwards–influenced stoneware tradition. Comparable Tonalá cups typically sell for 20–35 each on Etsy/eBay. Each cup is wheel-thrown, hand-painted, and individually signed “Mexico.” Designs feature the classic motifs associated with mid-century Tonalá artisan workshops: • Blue songbirds with feather detailing • Floral rosettes and botanical scrollwork • Earth-toned rims with reactive glaze pooling The clay body, glaze tone, bird forms, and brushwork align with the Jalisco regional folk-art style—the same lineage as El Palomar and early Ken Edwards studios—known for soft grey stoneware, cobalt accents, and whimsical wildlife. Condition: Light natural wear from age; no major chips or structural issues. This is real Mexican folk pottery, not mass-produced touristware. Perfect for collectors, display styling, or rustic kitchenware settings. Pickup category timeslot {A}
