A pair of vintage Mexican pottery vessels, hand-thrown in dark clay and decorated using the sgraffito technique, in which designs are carved through the surface to reveal the lighter clay beneath. The bold black-and-cream palette and graphic incised motifs give these pieces a strong sculptural presence.

The rounded vessel features stylized botanical and spiral imagery, while the tapered form is decorated with repeating scroll and geometric patterns. Together, they create a cohesive and visually dynamic pairing, ideal for display on shelves, consoles, or tabletops.

Produced in Mexico during the mid- to late-20th century, these pieces reflect the era’s appreciation for handcrafted studio ceramics with global and folk-inspired design influences. They work well as decorative objects and can be styled together or separately.
