13.5" Tonalá J.F. Solís Hand-Painted Double-Gourd Vase
This lively Tonalá (Jalisco) ceramic turns a humble gourd into a lesson in Mexican folk art. The burnished body wears bold florals and leafy fronds in black and cream, while the tapering neck is sprinkled with the classic florecitas—tiny dots and spirals you’ll spot across mid-century Tonalá ware. Signed on the base “J.F. Solís / Mexico,” it likely comes from the Solís family workshop, noted for hand-painted forms with warm terracotta palettes. Display it for its sculptural silhouette—or use it to spark a conversation about Tonalá’s centuries-old pottery traditions.
