11" Ken Edwards El Palomar Tonala Bowl - Hand-Painted Mexican Pottery
- Signed: El Palomar, Mexico
El Palomar pottery, often associated with the artist Ken Edwards, is a distinctive style of Mexican ceramics originating from the town of Tonala in the 1960s. Ken Edwards, an American ceramicist, founded the El Palomar studio in collaboration with Jorge Wilmot. They introduced high-temperature firing techniques to the local pottery community, which allowed for the production of vitrified, lead-free ceramics suitable for everyday use, including being microwave and dishwasher safe.
El Palomar pottery is renowned for its intricate hand-painted designs featuring natural motifs such as birds, flowers, and insects. Each piece is unique, often signed by the artists with their distinctive animal or insect marks. The pottery includes a wide range of items, from functional dinnerware and kitchenware to decorative pieces like vases and figurines.
