Hand-Etched Nicaraguan Pottery Vases by Rosa Lopez & San Juan de Oriente Artisan
This pair of hand-crafted Nicaraguan pottery vases showcases the rich artistic heritage of San Juan de Oriente, a village renowned for its ceramic artistry. The first piece, signed by Rosa Lopez, features intricate hand-etched designs with vibrant glazes, reflecting traditional motifs. The second vase, marked “San Juan de Oriente, 2014,” displays detailed sgraffito work depicting native flora and fauna. Both pieces exemplify the sgraffito technique, where artisans carve designs into the clay surface before firing, a method deeply rooted in the region's cultural practices.
Condition: Both vases are in very good condition with no chips, cracks, or repairs. Minor wear consistent with age and handcrafted nature.
