A delightfully fun fish bowl (love the pun!) by Mexican master potter Bernardo Zaldizar from the 1960s to 1970s. Signed BZ to the underside, this bowl is in excellent vintage condition. The footed base measures 5.5".
Zaldizar was from the village of Tzintzuntzan, located in the state of Michoacan, about 230 miles west of Mexico City in a mountainous region near Lake Patzcuaro. Once a large and bustling city, Tzintzuntzan evolved into today's small community with pottery making for the tourist trade as the primary industry. A noted archeological site, the region is the location of the ancient ruins (yakatas) of five large temples. Hand-crafted of red clay and hand decorated on Zaldizar’s brown-black background.
This is a rare peice by a Mexican master. Please check out other listings by this artist in my shop.
