Description

Large Oaxacan Hand-Painted Pottery Vessel — Blue Bird & Foliage Motif

This impressive hand-painted pottery vessel hails from Oaxaca, Mexico, renowned for its rich folk art traditions. Boldly decorated with a vibrant blue bird surrounded by dynamic feather and leaf patterns, the piece showcases the region’s celebrated use of color, form, and storytelling through ceramic design. The expressive brushwork and organic composition reflect the unique aesthetics of Oaxacan artistry.

Crafted from terracotta clay, the vessel features a flattened round body with a narrow neck. One side is adorned with intricate painting; the reverse remains unpainted, displaying the natural warm-toned earthenware surface. Though unsigned, its craftsmanship speaks to skilled artisan work typical of the region.


Condition

Excellent condition with no notable damage. The painted surface remains vivid and unmarred, and the vessel structure is intact. Like new, with no chips, cracks, or repairs. Please note: soup can included in photo for scale reference.
