Executed in the style of traditional Tonalá folk pottery from Mexico, this item is most likely made in Greece. This petite decorative vessel showcases the rustic artistry and earthy palette associated with mid-century Mexican folk ceramics, but this style was also popular with Grecian tourist pottery around the 1970's.

The square-form body and narrow bottle neck are beautifully accented with hand-painted scrolling botanical details and a central bird motif, giving the piece a collected, artisan feel perfect for Spanish Revival, Bohemian, Southwestern, Rustic, or Eclectic interiors.

Likely produced during the 1960s–1970s.
