Beautiful Mexican Majolica lidded jar with lovely subtle colored glaze, featuring traditional floral and leaf patterns. Signed Capelo (Studios) Guanajuato, a well known Talavera maker in Mexico. Just a stunning Decorative jar all around! We see it styled on a console with a collection of other pottery, or use in the kitchen for flour or sugar!
Handcrafted by Capelo, born Javier de Jesus Hernández Martínez in Guanajuato, Mexico, a distinguished artist, sculptor, muralist and photographer. His unique style is often characterized by bird, floral and fruit motifs using soft, blurred curves, muted colors and fuzzy – rather than sharp – outlines and edgings in the cobalt blue used in traditional majolica. Capelo’s free-flowing painting style seems to reflect an influence of the nearby Dolores de Hidalgo majolica tradition, rather than the more controlled and precise decorating style of the Spanish-influenced majolica from Puebla. The recipient of many honors and awards, Capelo has been exhibited in national museums such as the Franz Mayer in Mexico City and in the U.S. in 2009 at the Jordan Schnitzel Museum of Art at the University of Oregon.
