This is a stunning, vibrant square ceramic dish from the historic cradle of authentic Mexican pottery: Puebla, Mexico Talavera.com. This exquisite piece is completely handcrafted and hand-painted, bearing the authentic workshop inscription on the base: "angar pue, mex". The dish features classic, heavily detailed Polychrome patterns. Deep cobalt blue fans decorate the corners, surrounded by raised textures of terracotta orange, marigold yellow, and forest green floral scrolls. The center showcases a striking cobalt blue patterned medallion surrounding a central stylized numeral or crest motif.

-Measuring 6x6x1 inches would be great used as a decorative shelf or mantel display piece (looks stunning on a mini easel stand), vanity trinket tray for rings, keys, or loose change or a vibrant soap dish or candle coaster to add a pop of color to any room.

-Excellent vintage/pre-owned condition with no major chips, cracks, or heavy glazing flaws, only 2 small chips on the unglazed bottom ring. Because this item is completely painted by hand, minor natural variations in brushwork, glaze thickness, and symmetry are part of its authentic artisanal charm.
