Large hand-painted piece of Tlaquepaque pottery. This unique large, long serving bowl, has a smooth glaze and features many different elements. First, it is the style referred to as 'petatillo' due to the intricate decorative crosshatching of thin lines in the background. Second, the images are painted black with a traditional 'noche' (night) manner. Lastly, there are depictions of deer (ciervos), flowers (flores), trees (árboles) and even traditional thatched roof houses (palapas).
The color palate includes white/cream, brown/black and terracotta/red pigments. Unsigned and painted in the style of the José Bernabe Campechano family.
Large pieces in this shape and condition are hard-to-find and would make a great accent in a commercial space or residential décor settings from Southwestern to Rustic or Coastal.

Provenance:
This large piece of Tlaquepaque pottery has been part of the private collection of Dean Warner since the 1960s. Mr. Warner (1931-2025) was a graduate of both Mexico City College and Thunderbird and a noted dealer in Pre-Columbian & Tribal Artifacts. He had galleries in Dallas and La Jolla, a client base that included private individuals and institutions, and served as an authority for authentication. In addition, events during the 1960s and 1970s were held to showcase his collection across the United States in retail establishments like Bloomingdales, Neiman Marcus, Shillito's and Higbee's among others. In retirement, Mr. Warner (T-Bird '57) continued to be an avid collector and served both as the Art Curator for the Thunderbird School of Global Management (now part of Arizona State University) and the Creator/Director of the The Global Market for ethnographic art and gifts which was founded in 1994. Many of the items he collected are now part of the permanent collection of the university.
