Each vase is uniquely shaped and sculpted by hand from terracotta clay, featuring expressive facial details that blend Pre-Columbian influences with mid-century folk artistry. Often left unglazed or subtly painted, they have developed a beautiful patina over time, enhancing their rustic charm. These sculptural vases were originally crafted as decorative pieces, making them a bold statement for eclectic, bohemian, or vintage-inspired interiors. They are not stamped or labeled, as they were individually handmade by artisans rather than mass-produced.

This set is in excellent vintage condition, with no chips or cracks, preserving their original craftsmanship. Their substantial size adds to their presence: Large: 29" H x 13" D, Medium: 23" H x 11.5" D, Small: 19.75" H x 11" D. A rare and collectible set for lovers of Mexican folk art. See less
