A large and iconic example of 1930s Tlaquepaque pottery, this hand-painted ceramic charger tray beautifully embodies the rich folk art traditions of Jalisco, Mexico. Featuring a vibrant and detailed depiction of rural Mexican life, the scene showcases a man leading a donkey laden with goods through a colorful, pastoral landscape surrounded by intricate border designs. Crafted with natural mineral pigments, the charger tray reflects the artistry and cultural pride of its era. Marked "Made in Mexico" on the reverse, it is wall-mountable and perfect for display.

Dimensions: 1.25 inches tall with a generous 16.5-inch diameter. (Soup can included in the photo for scale.)

Materials: Hand-painted ceramic with natural mineral pigments, expertly crafted using traditional techniques.

Condition: Good condition with minor chips and slight paint loss consistent with age, which add to the vintage charm and authenticity of the piece.

Tlaquepaque ceramics from the 1930s are highly sought after for their vivid artistry and historical significance. This charger tray is a striking decorative item and a valuable addition to any collection of Mexican folk art or vintage ceramics.
