The Next Generation of Aguilar Mastery
This exquisite wall-hanging angel is a signed piece by Juan Jose Garcia Aguilar, a celebrated second-generation master from the legendary Aguilar pottery family of Ocotlán de Morelos, Oaxaca.
Artistic Details:
• Artist Signature: Hand-incised on the reverse: "Jose Juan Garcia Aguilar".
• Subject: A celestial figure in a flowing moss-green with gold trim gown, holding a deeply pigmented red flower.
• Signature Style: Features the artist’s characteristic masterful face and attention to detail, including the intricate "pastillaje" texture on the wings and the flowing, deep-purple accented hair.
• Dimensions: 6” H x 3.5” W.
• Display: Ready for immediate display via the integrated wire hanging loop.
Condition:
Superior vintage condition. The delicate "barro" (clay) shows a repair to the hidden arm, not visible in display but seen in photo 10, and the matte paint finish shows remarkable preservation of the gold filigree details along the hem.
