Vintage Tlaquepaque Mexican Folk Art Hen-on-Nest Pottery Dish
This hand-sculpted and hand-painted hen-on-nest covered dish is an excellent example of mid-20th-century Tlaquepaque Mexican folk art pottery. Made from warm terracotta earthenware, the piece features a sculptural hen lid with expressive molded details and vibrant polychrome slip decoration in blue, green, orange, cream, and black—hallmarks of traditional Tlaquepaque craftsmanship. The basket-form base is richly textured and finished in a glossy glaze typical of the region’s mid-century utilitarian and decorative wares.
Entirely handmade using regional forming and painting techniques, this colorful, substantial piece embodies the lively aesthetic associated with Tlaquepaque workshops. A wonderful addition for collectors of Mexican folk pottery, animal-form ceramics, or vintage handcrafted décor.
Condition
