Description

This attractive ceramic Mini Round Dish is a charming piece of functional folk art, meticulously hand-painted and glazed by artisans from San Antonio Palopó, Guatemala, and is sold individually. The small round plate features a slightly raised rim and showcases two distinct hand-painted designs: one (the liso or “plain” pattern) features a central starburst pattern composed of the region’s characteristic high-contrast, rhythmic teardrop motifs in blue, aqua, and terracotta, while the other (the “bird” or pajaro design) features a central design of large, stylized flowers and foliage surrounding a central hummingbird. Both pieces are finished with a bold cobalt blue rim, beautifully integrating the detailed artistry of the Lake Atitlán region into decorative serving ware.
