Hand-Painted Tonala Pottery "Duck" – Signed
his vibrant hand-painted Tonala pottery duck is a stunning example of traditional Mexican folk art, originating from the renowned ceramics town of Tonalá, Jalisco. Crafted in the bruñido (burnished) style, this ceramic figurine features intricate feather patterns in deep blue, brown, and white, meticulously painted with fine details.
