Description

This unique ceramic Small Octagonal Dish (Platito octagonal liso) is a charming piece of functional folk art, meticulously hand-painted and glazed by artisans from San Antonio Palopó, Guatemala. The small, eight-sided plate features a slightly raised rim and showcases a striking, symmetrical design featuring a central starburst pattern composed of the region’s characteristic high-contrast, rhythmic teardrop motifs in blue, aqua, terracotta, and black. The piece is finished with a bold cobalt blue rim, beautifully integrating the detailed artistry of the Lake Atitlán region into decorative serving ware.
