This charming vintage Tlaquepaque pottery bowl from Mexico showcases the vibrant artistry for which the region is celebrated. Measuring 10 inches wide and 2 inches tall, the piece is hand-painted with a delightful design featuring a blue rabbit nestled among stylized flowers and greenery. The scalloped rim and earthy terracotta glaze provide a rustic yet colorful aesthetic that captures the essence of Mexican folk art.
Stamped “Tlaquepaque Mexico” on the underside, this bowl likely dates from the mid-20th century when hand-painted pottery from this region was widely collected for its whimsical charm and artisanal quality.
