Talavera Pottery Vase Signed T. Ruth Large Hand Painted

A large-scale Talavera pottery vase, hand-coiled and richly hand-painted with vibrant folkloric motifs. Signed “T.

The form is substantial and decorative, with applied loop and sculptural side handles adding visual interest and craftsmanship.
