Description

Vintage Tlaquepaque Blue Ceramic Bull Jug – Iridescent Glaze, Hand-Painted Folk Art

This vintage Tlaquepaque ceramic jug exemplifies the rich tradition of Mexican folk art, featuring a whimsical bull-shaped design adorned with a vibrant blue iridescent glaze. Hand-painted rural scenes depict a farmer leading a donkey through a picturesque landscape of cacti, rustic homes, and colorful flora, showcasing the artistry of Tlaquepaque's renowned ceramics heritage. The jug's functional spout, emerging from the bull's back, adds versatility, allowing it to serve as a unique vessel or candle holder.

Condition: In good condition, with glaze imperfections typical of pottery from this era. Minor chips and surface wear are present, particularly on the legs and rim, but these do not detract from the piece's overall visual appeal.

Dimensions: Approximately 10" x 7" x 12". (Soup can in photo for scale reference only.)
