Pair of Tonala Mexico Pottery Modernist Horse Figurines Hand Painted
About the Item
A pair of modernist horse figurines, made in Tonala, Mexico, is in a great vintage condition with no signs of use. The figurines are a size of large chopsticks or knife rests, but it's unclear if they were intended for use on the table or made a decor piece only.
The figurines are made in modernist style with short legs, long bodies, and expressive heads, and are hand painted in typical Tonala style with different designs in blue and light blue tones. Please check the details of the decor in the pictures, as they are part of the description. Both figurines are signed at the bottom. The size is 1.7" tall to the top of the head, 2.7" long, and 1" wide at the widest part of the body. Ceramic bodies are fully glazed, but the bottoms of the feet are left unglazed.
