This set of three vintage Mexican terracotta face vases from the 1960s–1970s is a striking example of handcrafted folk art from Tonalá or Tlaquepaque, Jalisco, regions known for their rich ceramic traditions. 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.
