Rare Vintage Tonala Mexico Ceramic Large Planter Pot

Description

From the estate of a Southern California antiques dealer with a large collection of vintage Mexican pottery, comes this rare Tonala hand-painted, burnished planters pot with desert landscape, animals, and repeating floral motif. The whimsy this adds to a space with its rich patina stand out as a true unique piece of artwork in any space.

Some of the picture angles make this pot look like it's narrower at the bottom and wider at the top, but it is definitely shaped straight up and down, cylindrical all the way.

Please note a very small chip on the rim
