Description

This striking ceramic Large Scalloped Bowl is a magnificent piece of functional folk art, meticulously hand-painted and glazed by skilled artisans from San Antonio Palopó, Guatemala. The bowl features a unique, decorative scalloped rim with pointed “peaks” and offers a choice between two signature artisanal styles: the “bird” design showcases a vibrant central scene of a hummingbird amidst lush, stylized flowers, while the “plain” (liso) version is adorned with rhythmic, high-contrast “peacock feather” teardrop motifs in the region’s traditional cobalt blue, aqua, and terracotta palette. Finished with a bold blue border and a glossy glaze, this durable bowl perfectly captures the intricate craftsmanship and cheerful aesthetic of the Lake Atitlán region, making it a stunning centerpiece for serving or display.
