A beautifully crafted signed and dated 1988 studio pottery dinnerware set by ceramic artist Day Allen, handmade in Mexico and executed in warm terracotta with refined folk-modern detailing.
This coordinated set includes three plates and three bowls, each hand-thrown and finished with a glossy clear glaze. The design features deep cobalt blue banding accented by white slip-trailed geometric motifs, a decorative approach inspired by traditional Mexican pottery and reinterpreted through a late-20th-century studio pottery lens.
Each piece is hand-signed and dated “Day Allen – Feb. 1988”, underscoring its authenticity and collectible appeal. The combination of earthy clay, graphic detailing, and artisanal irregularities makes this set equally suited for display or elevated everyday use.
An excellent example of late 20th-century Mexican studio ceramics, ideal for collectors of handmade pottery, rustic modern interiors, or thoughtfully curated tablescapes.
