MINIATURE CLAY CART Fine Mexican Pottery Collector's item Metepec Folk Art

Description

CARAPAN, MEXICAN FOLK ART GALLERY SINCE 1950.
ABOUT THIS MINIATURE CLAY MEXICAN POTTERY
This supberb miniature Mexican pottery piece was hand crafted in Metepec. A  town located in central Mexico, worldwide known for the high quality of its pottery.
This fine clay piece depicts a
man riding a cart full of fruits and a woman sitting holding a watermelon
in her hands as well as some baskets hanging at the top. Some peasants still sell their fruits like this at small towns and remote areas of Mexico.
The whole structure of the cart is surrounded with birds and flowers. The cart  is pulled by a donkey. Not even the reins are missing.
Making this cart took many days of dedication from picking up and sifting the clay, molding the piece to placing it in the oven and finally arriving to the utmost delicate process of painting.
Mastering this craft is a process that takes years and is transmitted from one generation to the next. Usually the artists learn the technique as kids while playing with clay in their family workshops.
.
This piece will be very carefully packed and insured to protect your investment.
