By Tonala Pottery, Ken Edwards
Located in Clifton Springs, NY
Vintage ceramic or pottery vase features traditional rounded body with wide shoulder and elongated neck with flared rim. The vase is decorated with hand-applied brass relief with fish scale texture, framing the central traditional Tonala Folk Art style hand-painted decor. The central motif of a branch with flowers and leaves in mocha and cappuccino brown, forest green, off-white, and sapphire blue stands out on speckled mushroom beige background; the neck and rim are accented with wide monochromatic bands, repeating the colors of the main decor motif. The meticulously painted decor guides the eye along the lines of the vessel, and unusual brass accent adds tactile element to the vase.
The vase is in good, age-appropriate vintage condition with beautiful patina on brass; due to the convenient size, it can be used either as a shelf or fireplace mantel decoration...
