Talavera Bowl by T. Ruth – Hand-Coiled & Painted, 21” Wide, Sunflowers
A radiant example of Mexican ceramic artistry, this large hand-sculpted Talavera-style bowl is signed by T. Ruth and features a vibrant sunflower motif encircling both its interior and exterior. Crafted using traditional coiling techniques, the piece is entirely hand-painted in rich hues of cobalt blue, golden yellow, and terracotta, with twisted loop handles adding to its sculptural appeal.
Signed “T. Ruth Mexico” on the underside and marked “For Decorative Use Only,” this bowl reflects the bold, folk-art aesthetic associated with mid to late 20th-century Talavera-style pottery. T. Ruth’s work—found across a range of hand-formed decorative ceramics—exemplifies a dedication to traditional craftsmanship, though not formally certified by the Talavera regulatory council.
With its striking size and vivid palette, this bowl functions beautifully as a centerpiece or wall accent, embodying the charm and vibrancy of Mexican folk pottery.
