Description

Pair of Vintage Hand-Painted Ceramic Roosters – Folk Art Style, Felt Bottoms

Charming pair of vintage hand-painted ceramic rooster figures, each modeled with stylized folk-art flair and decorated in earthy tones of green, brown, blue, and terracotta on a cream base. Resting on square pedestal stands with geometric and floral motifs, the pair displays delightful, handcrafted individuality. The undersides are felt-lined, a thoughtful detail for stable display.

Their design reflects Mexican folk pottery traditions, from the Tonalá or Talavera regions, known for colorful, tin-glazed clay figures. Their glaze work and naïve decorative charm make them appealing additions to rustic, country, or eclectic interiors.

Condition

Good condition overall with age-appropriate wear. Some glaze and paint chipping visible, particularly to the comb and high points, consistent with age and handling. Minor surface scuffs and glaze crazing are present but do not detract from the overall presentation. Both pieces retain their felt-lined bases and stand securely.

Dimensions: 9.25" H x 7.5" L x 3.5" W each
