Description

This striking ceramic Baroque Vase (Florero Barroco) is an exquisite piece of functional folk art, meticulously hand-painted and glazed by skilled artisans from San Antonio Palopó, Guatemala. The vase features a unique, square-bodied silhouette that tapers into a slender, ringed neck, and it offers a choice between two signature artisanal styles: the “bird” design showcases a vibrant hummingbird amidst lush, stylized flowers and foliage, while the “plain” (liso) version is adorned with a large, bold floral medallion featuring multi-colored petals in shades of terracotta, forest green, and deep blue. Finished with a glossy glaze and rhythmic patterns around the neck and base, this durable vase perfectly captures the intricate craftsmanship and vibrant aesthetic characteristic of the Lake Atitlán region.
