Description

This ceramic Standing Owl Salt Shaker (Salero tecolote parado) is a unique piece of miniature folk art, meticulously hand-painted and glazed by artisans from San Antonio Palopó, Guatemala, a community celebrated for its vibrant pottery tradition. The small, stylized owl figurine is designed to stand upright, featuring a predominantly white body adorned with rhythmic, high-contrast, feather-like patterns in black, deep blue, teal, and brown. It includes a beak, large expressive eyes, and small holes on the head for use as a salt or spice shaker, perfectly capturing the detailed and playful artistry characteristic of the Lake Atitlán region.
