Lot #121: Mexican Talavera Vase

A hand-painted ceramic vase featuring vibrant floral motifs and a bright red rim. Talavera pottery is a Mexican and Spanish pottery tradition that arrived in Mexico in the 16th century via Spanish monks. While authentic Talavera is strictly regulated and comes from Puebla, contemporary 'Talavera-style' folk art like this piece is produced throughout Mexico, blending indigenous artistic styles with colonial ceramic techniques to create highly decorative and colorful functional art. The vase appears to be in excellent condition with no visible chips or cracks. The hand-painted glaze is intact and maintains a high-gloss finish, which is essential for retaining the value of contemporary Mexican folk art. Dimensions: 5x9 Pickup category timeslot {A}
