Description

Vintage Mexican Figural Glass Pitcher Woman Face Pulque Jug

Striking mid-20th century Mexican hand-blown figural glass pitcher, modeled as a woman’s face with a sculptural bonnet-form spout and applied handle. Richly colored in warm tones of pink, yellow, and red, with hand-painted facial details, this piece embodies the expressive charm of traditional Mexican folk art. Examples of this type are often associated with pulque service vessels, though today they are especially prized for their sculptural presence and decorative appeal.

Larger than many similar examples, this pitcher stands out with its bold personality and eye-catching design. Whether displayed on a bar, shelf, or cabinet, it serves as an instant conversation piece—perfect for collectors of folk art, figural glass, or eclectic interiors seeking a unique focal point.

Condition:
Good vintage condition with visible paint loss, surface wear, and scattered scuffs consistent with age and use. Areas of finish loss are present along the hair and facial features, contributing to its authentic vintage character. Minor wear to the rim and handle; no major cracks or structural damage observed.

Dimensions:
11 x 5 1/2 x 6 inches (Height x Width x Depth)
