Description

This charming ceramic Small Bowl (Tazón chico) is a unique piece of functional folk art, meticulously hand-painted and glazed by artisans from San Antonio Palopó, Guatemala, and is sold individually. The bowl features a classic rounded shape with a deep cobalt blue rim, offering a choice between two signature artisanal styles: the “bird” design (diseño con pájaro) showcases a vibrant hummingbird surrounded by lush, stylized flowers and foliage, while the “plain” design (diseño liso) is adorned with a rhythmic, high-contrast pattern of teardrop or “peacock feather” motifs in shades of blue, aqua, and terracotta. Whether used for serving or as a decorative accent, this durable piece beautifully captures the playful and detailed craftsmanship characteristic of the Lake Atitlán region.
