Vintage Signed Tonala-Style Mexican Pottery Bird Candle Holders Hand-Painted 86

This is a beautiful pair of vintage Mexican bird candle holders. Shaped like plump birds in flight, each ceramic piece is lovingly hand-painted with expressive details, rich cobalt blue tones, and natural motifs. Signed by the artist, and dated with a personal inscription from Christmas 1986, reading: "X'mas '86 xo Heothie" in blue ballpoint pen — a unique touch that adds heartfelt history and character. This could possibly be washed off, but I think it adds to it's story. This delightful duo serves beautifully as taper candle holders or as standalone folk art collectibles. Perfect for boho, rustic, or eclectic spaces, and a thoughtful gift for lovers of handmade pottery and Mexican artistry. Ideal for boho, eclectic, or rustic interiors, this bird pair works as taper candle holders or simply decorative accents for your shelf, table, or altar.
