Its rounded silhouette, oversized expressive eyes, and pale blue beak give this decorative bird a wonderfully playful presence.

Hand-painted feather motifs in rich brown and near-black sweep across a creamy off-white ground, complemented by a distinctive spiral accent and glossy glaze. The combination of bold brushwork and soft, organic form makes this Mexican art pottery piece equally appealing displayed on a bookshelf, styled on a console, or grouped with other collected ceramics.

The underside bears the painted “Mexico” inscription and enclosed “KE” maker’s mark shown in the accompanying photograph. A characterful accent for folk art, eclectic, bohemian, Southwestern, or modern rustic interiors. See less
