This charming small pitcher is from Tonala, the premier Mexican pottery center. The light, finely crafted pitcher has a lovely, elegant form. It is handpainted with a scene of village life. A woman wearing an embroidered skirt and serape stands by a pueblo home, her back towards us. She is surrounded by cacti and agave and is looking towards a distant mountain. The folk art painting is skillfully worked and very evocative. The bottom is signed by the artist - MEXICO JOSE GALAN TONLA.
Measures 5-7/8 inches tall.
Excellent vintage condition.
