This charming vintage ceramic pot features a traditional Talavera-style hand-painted design in vibrant hues of cobalt blue, yellow, green, and black. The cylindrical body is flanked by two looped side handles and adorned with swirling folk motifs inspired by Spanish and Mexican majolica traditions. Measuring approximately 3.75 inches tall, this piece is perfect for small kitchen utensils, fresh herbs, or simply as a colorful accent in rustic or Mediterranean-inspired décor.
Made of terracotta with a glazed surface, the pot shows signs of age and use, including mild glaze wear, surface crazing, and patina consistent with hand-thrown vintage pottery. The unmarked base and red clay body are typical of artisan ceramics from Southern Europe or Mexico, likely dating to the mid-20th century.
