Small Capula Ceramic Salsa Bowls with Spoon-Multiple Colors

Handmade ceramic salsa bowl and spoon with multicolor Capulineado flower design by the family of Francisco Javier Ruiz from Capula, Michoacán, Mexico. Capulineado pottery involves a pointillist approach to ceramic painting which developed at the time of Spanish contact in Michoacán when monasteries were being built and influenced ceramic production in the region. The capulín design celebrates the Mexican cherry flower, or capulin, and dates to the mid 1550s. The designs are typically painted in solid colors, predominantly pastels, with small contrasting or white accents to resemble the shape of these ubiquitous spring flowers.
