Zinapécuaro Aire Hand-Painted Ceramic Vase

Zinapécuaro Standing Vase handmade in Zinapécuaro, Michoacán  This Zinapecuaro clay vessel with legs is a deep homage to the ancient designs and styles of ceramics from this region. Made with locally sourced clay, it is then burnished with river stones, utilizing one of the oldest techniques in pottery making. Its earth tone base with dotted and petrographic styles is a reflection of the ancestral knowledge that has been passed down through generations.  Geometrical intricate designs are patiently made with the negative-imprint technique where the piece is pulled from the fire, cooled, painted and then re-smoked for contrast and depth. Supported by three hand-shaped legs with ridges, its hand-painted details of a long wave spiral add a touch of spirit to any home. It's an exquisite statement piece for any setting, a decorative accent with profound meaning and history.   Handmade in Zinapecuaro, Michoacan  Made with locally sourced clay and one of the oldest techniques of pottery making  Burnished  Smoked and fired  Homage to Purepecha designs  Petrographics and dotted designs  Approximate Measurements: Height 10’’  Length 10’’ Width 8’’ Length of Legs 3’’ Diameter 4 ½’’ Depthness 7’’  Height of body 6 ½’’  At Lolo—Mercadito, we are committed to acknowledging the nature of each product.
