Description :

This lot features a curated selection of pottery and ceramics from Cerámica Artística Tonalá (CAT), a renowned manufacturer based in Tonalá, Jalisco, Mexico. Tonalá has been a historic hub for traditional Mexican folk art since pre-Hispanic times, and this collection represents the high-quality, commercial, and highly collectible artistry associated with the region.

The pieces in this collection are characteristic of Tonalá’s traditional "burnished" (bruñido) style, renowned for its smooth, matte finish achieved through careful polishing with stones rather than applying a shiny glaze. The artistry often features intricate hand-painted floral, animal, or geometric motifs, reflecting the deep cultural heritage of the Jalisco region.

The collection includes a variety of handcrafted pieces. Please note that some items in this lot are signed by the artisan, while others are attributed to the same traditional CAT style. These pieces showcase the intricate techniques, earth-toned palettes, and cultural craftsmanship for which Tonalá ceramics are globally recognized.

Dimensions : 2 in L x 9.34 in W x 13 in H
