Description

This elegant ceramic Large Sugar Bowl (Azucarera grande) is a sophisticated piece of functional folk art, meticulously hand-painted and glazed by skilled artisans from San Antonio Palopó, Guatemala. The bowl features a classic rounded silhouette with a matching lid and offers a choice between two signature artisanal styles: the “bird” design showcases a lively scene of a hummingbird and butterfly among lush flowers and foliage against a white base, while the “plain” (liso) version is adorned with rhythmic, high-contrast teardrop motifs in the region’s traditional blue and terracotta palette. Finished with bold cobalt blue and orange accents, this durable sugar bowl beautifully captures the detailed craftsmanship and vibrant aesthetic characteristic of the Lake Atitlán region.
