Vintage Tonalá Clay Bowl, As Is


$ 45.00

Over the 15 years I had a brick and mortar presence in the Twin Cities, I used many vintage bowls and trays in the shop to display other items.  I received frequent requests to purchase the display pieces, whether they were bowls or tables or tapestry hangers. So, now that I no longer need them for display, I'm going to offer them for you to display your goodies at home or elsewhere! 

This is a vintage bowl that was likely picked up in Mexico by a tourist somewhere near Jalisco--either one of the resorts on the coast like Puerto Vallarta, or at a mercado somewhere close by. I used this bowl for many types of display over the years and it's sturdy, smooth on the inside and has those wonderful abstract brushstrokes in blue, green and terracotta. I'm guessing it's older, probably from the 40's or 50's. 

There are some scraped and damaged spots, shown in the photos, but in general it's in good condition for its age! It is sold as is.
