Top is chipped - See photos
This is a listing for a decorative pottery vase that was handcrafted and signed by Guaitil potter Ma Elena Espinozo in Costa Rica. The round vase is hand-painted with bands of rust and browns featuring a variety of abstract designs with etching that reveals the natural ceramic sand color.
Guaitil is a Chorotega indigenous village, named for the dye-giving Guaitil tree and situated in Guanacaste. Chorotega pottery is completely handmade with traditional techniques passed down through the generations for thousands of years.
The artisans create the clay pots on hand-operated pottery wheels and polish the pieces to give them a smooth finish and luster. Designs are etched into the vases by hand and the pieces are painted with natural pigments made from ground colored rocks mixed with water, then fired in traditional wood-burning kilns. The result is a striking earthen pottery unique to this specific region of Costa Rica.
This beautiful ceramic vase measures 7 1/4"H. It is not watertight and is recommended for decorative use only. Please see and enlarge the photos for additional information.
