About the Item
Alfonso Castillo Orta was born into a family that worked with clay for generations before him.

In 1995, the work of Alfonso Castillo was published in “The Great Masters of Mexican Folk Art”. His career as a famed Mexican ceramicist spanned almost a half century before he died in 2009.
