Description

This beautiful ceramic Medium Heart Dish (Corazón Mediano) is a unique piece of functional folk art, meticulously hand-painted and glazed by skilled artisans from San Antonio Palopó, Guatemala. This versatile, handle-less vessel features a romantic heart-shaped silhouette and offers a choice between two signature artisanal styles: the “bird” design showcases a charming scene of a hummingbird in flight among stylized yellow flowers and lush green foliage on a white base, while the “plain” (liso) version is traditionally adorned with rhythmic, high-contrast teardrop motifs in the region’s characteristic cobalt blue and terracotta palette. Finished with a bold dark blue rim, this durable dish perfectly captures the detailed craftsmanship and vibrant aesthetic of the Lake Atitlán region, making it an ideal choice for a decorative accent or a thoughtful gift.
